The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the rundown in the old school numbers.
Right, we're looking at Baya Reef for the next couple of weeks. The big moment is Wednesday, August 19th. That morning, you've got a 10-foot SSW groundswell with a killer 18-second period. The water temp is about 82°F, which is average for this time of year. The wave energy is strong, real strong at (4931). The wind is light and cross-shore, keeping the surface clean. This is big, powerful stuff for the experts only. If you've got the sack for it, Wednesday morning is where it's at.
The rest of that first week keeps the swell pumping. Thursday the 20th is still showing an 8-foot SSW swell with a 16-second period in the morning, and light cross-shore winds, so it'll be glassy (3100 energy).
You get a few cleaner windows with cross-offshore winds, like on Sunday the 23rd with a 5.6-foot SSW swell (2216 energy), and again on Wednesday the 26th morning with a 3.6-foot SW swell.
There's a smaller, choppier patch around the 29th and 30th, but the start of September looks promising. September 1st shows a 6-foot SW swell with a 17-second period and light cross-shore winds in the morning (2096 energy). It's a fair way out, so consider it a promising lead, not a guarantee.
For the crew that can handle the size, it's a good run of groundswell, with the cleanest conditions first thing in the day.

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.
