The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's take a good look at what's on the table for this neck of the woods.
The whole 16-day stretch is a bit of a struggle, to be honest. There's surf on offer every day at Baya Reef from day one, but it’s all carrying that "marginal" tag. The wind is stuck in a cross-shore or cross-onshore pattern almost the entire time, which means conditions are never going to be that clean, glassy stuff we all dream about. Energy readings bounce around a fair bit, but nearly every session has some chop or lumpiness to fight through.
Thursday the 10th kicks things off with morning offerings: a 6 ft SSW swell rolling in at a very long 16 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 2024 – that’s a lot of push. The water is sitting at 78°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. The problem is a 9 mph cross-shore wind that’s going to put a slight crinkle on the surface. It's surfable, but it’s not the cleanest.
Looking across the whole forecast, there really isn't a true standout. The mornings consistently look better than the afternoons because the wind is lighter. A few mornings stand out slightly more than others. Monday the 22nd of September morning is interesting – a 3 ft swell, but check the period: 20 seconds. That’s an incredibly long period groundswell. The energy is still moderate (1397), and with a light cross-shore breeze, it might actually offer some of the cleanest, most lined-up waves of the whole period, even if smaller. The longer period means better shape and longer waits between sets.
If I had to point you to the best bet, it’s that Monday the 22nd morning session. It’s not a classic, but it’s the closest thing we have to a good time.
That said, Sunday the 20th also deserves a mention for the morning. A 6 ft SSW swell with a 16-second period and strong to very strong energy at 1761. The wind is light cross-onshore, which isn’t perfect, but it’s manageable and better than the afternoon’s more choppy conditions. For a bigger, more powerful wave, that’s your window, even if it’s a bit bumpy.
Overall, if you're patient and pick the lightest-wind mornings, you'll find something. But don't expect any all-time sessions. It’s a grind, but it beats working.

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.
