The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Baya Reef. This is an advanced reef break that's exposed to the swell, and it's a consistent spot that can handle a decent amount of energy. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

The whole 16-day window is a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. We've got a lot of days where the wind is just wrong, blowing cross-shore or cross-on, which is going to chop things up. There's not a lot of true standouts, but there are a couple of windows that look worth circling on the calendar.

The first real chance of something good comes on Friday, July 17th. The morning session is the clear winner. We'll see a 5ft SSW swell pushing in with a solid 16-second period, which is proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is pretty strong at 1088, and crucially, the wind is forecast to be glassy. That's the magic word right there. This is an advanced break, so that size is in the sweet spot for experienced surfers. It's not too big, it's not too small, and with those clean conditions, it could be a really fun morning. The downside? It's a reef, and with that long period, the sets will have some punch, so you need to know what you're doing.

After that, things get a bit average again for a stretch. The wind picks up in the afternoons and stays messy. We get a bit of a bump on Monday, July 20th with the swell jumping up to 7ft from the SSW, period at 16 seconds, and the combined energy is cranking at 1875. But the morning wind is cross-off, which is okay, but it's not the perfect offshore we'd want. At 7ft, this is getting into the bigger range for advanced surfers only. The afternoon is a write-off with a fresh cross-shore.

The other standout window is way out there, on Tuesday, July 28th. That morning looks like a repeat of the 17th: glassy conditions, with a 3ft SSW swell, but the period is a massive 19 seconds. That's a very long period groundswell, and the energy is still moderate at 1027. For a reef, this could produce some beautifully lined-up, clean waves for the experienced crew. It's small, but that long period means it'll have plenty of push. Just keep in mind this is a long-range look, so the forecast confidence is a bit lower.

So, if you're looking for the best of it, circle Friday morning, July 17th and keep an eye on Tuesday morning, July 28th. The rest of the time, the wind is going to be your enemy, and it's mostly marginal surf with a chop on it.

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.

Baya Reef is 35 km (22 miles) from the city of Pelabuhanratu. If you plan a holiday in West Java, look for hotels and other accommodation in Pelabuhanratu. Pelabuhanratu has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
