The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the lowdown for Baya Reef in feet and Fahrenheit. We’ve got a steady run of solid SW groundswell filling in, but the wind’s more often than not a pain, coming cross or cross-onshore. Lots of energy around, but clean conditions are the exception.
First up, on Sunday the 13th (afternoon), we’ve got a proper 7ft swell from the SW, with a 16-second period – that’s proper groundswell. Wind is a moderate 16 mph cross-shore, so it’s got some cross-chop. Water temp is 77°, but that’s about 3° cooler than average, which is pretty unusual for the time of year. The energy is strong at 2338. Rideable, but not glassy.
The best session in the near future is Monday morning, September 14th. Swell eases a bit to 6ft from the SW, still with a long 16-second period. Wind goes light at 6 mph, cross-onshore, just creating small ripples. Wave energy is still solid at 1537. This is the cleanest, most lined-up window early on. Remember, Baya Reef is an exposed, advanced spot, and crowds can show up *sometimes*. It’s the one to target.
The next real standout is way out, on Monday morning, September 28th – that’s two full weeks away, so keep it in the back of your mind. The swell jumps to 8ft from the SSW with a very long 18-second period. Energy cranks up to 3170 (strong). Wind is light at 9 mph, gentle cross-shore with a slight chop. For a reef, that long-period swell can really draw up some beautiful, powerful lines. That morning has the most potential in the whole 16-day span, but at that range, it’s just a promise for now.
So, bottom line: plenty of waves, but not much perfection. Monday the 14th morning is your early bet for the best combo of size and wind. The 28th is the one to dream on, but wait and see.
Rusty.

Information about the Baya Reef Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Baya Reef provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Baya Reef can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Baya Reef surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Baya Reef) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Baya Reef may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
