Alright, mate. Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on this stretch.
So we're looking at the next 16 days kicking off July 4th, and the start is a bit of a mess. The first weekend has some swell, but the wind is all over the place, making things scrappy. You won't be missing much if you wait.
The real standout is Monday, July 6th. Early morning brings a solid SSW swell around 6ft, with a groundswell period of 17 seconds and a combined energy that's pumping (2049). But the top thing is the wind — it's glassy, totally dead flat. That's the jackpot. The water temp is about average. This one is for the experienced lot, though. That size and power on a reef like Baya Reef is serious. The offshore wind direction is from the ENE, and the swell is coming from the SSW, which lines up perfectly for this exposed spot. Crowds can show up here sometimes, so beat the rush. Tuesday the 7th morning is also clean and good with a 4ft swell, but Monday is the pick.
Wednesday the 8th is another cracker for the morning. Clean, cross-offshore wind, and a 6ft SSW swell. The energy is still strong (1753). That's a powerful, well-shaped wave. The afternoons after about 9th start getting a stiff cross-shore breeze that adds chop, so mornings are the go.
Things drop right off after the 9th. The 12th and 13th are tiny and weak, with energy below 400. A proper lull.
But Tuesday the 14th sees a fun little comeback. Morning glass again, with a 4ft SSW groundswell and 1246 energy. Perfect surface for a session, just a bit smaller and more user-friendly.
The final real standout is Friday the 17th. Another clean, cross-offshore morning with a 5ft SW swell. The energy is moderate at 1106, but with light wind and that reef, it'll be beautiful. The 18th and 19th keep some size around 5ft to 6ft, but the wind picks up hard, so the quality fades in the afternoons.
Bottom line: When the wind is glassy or cross-off, this reef is on. That swell direction from the SSW or SW is exactly what it needs. The big call is Monday morning the 6th, and the mornings of the 8th, 14th, and 17th. The 6th with that glass-off and energy is the best session of the whole outlook.
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.
