The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up. We’ve only got one spot on the radar for this whole sixteen-day stretch, and it’s a tricky one. The forecast is a bit of a mixed bag, so let’s get into it.

The overall pattern is that we’re looking at a lot of marginal conditions for Baya Reef. There’s a solid run of decent swell energy, but it’s often paired with tricky winds. The first few days are a write-off, with the wind mainly cross or cross-onshore and lumpy. Thursday the 3rd kicks off with a light cross-onshore breeze and a 4ft SW swell (period 15 seconds), but it’s a marginal call. The afternoon gets worse, with a strong 16 mph cross-shore wind messing it up. Friday the 4th is similar, with a moderate breeze keeping things choppy.

The first real hint of hope comes on Saturday the 5th morning. We’ve got a clean, cross-off wind with a gentle breeze, and a 5ft SSW swell that’s packing some serious energy (1239). The period is a long 16 seconds, which is great for a reef like this. This is the standout of the first week, but the afternoon falls apart again with a fresh cross-shore wind.

Sunday the 6th morning is clean again with a cross-off breeze and a 4ft SW swell (period 17 seconds), and the energy is really pumping at 1730. It’s a marginal call, but the conditions are there. The rest of the first week and into the second week is a frustrating pattern: clean mornings, blown-out afternoons. The swell sticks around, with size bumping up to 5ft and 6ft, and even hitting 7ft on Wednesday the 9th morning, but that underlying cross-shore wind is a constant problem.

Now, for the real standout. Keep your eyes on Sunday the 13th of September. The morning session is looking excellent for experienced surfers. We’ve got a clean, cross-off breeze with a gentle breeze, and a 5ft SW swell (17 seconds) charging in with a massive energy reading of 1970. This is the best the window has to offer, no question. The swell direction is right on the money for Baya Reef, and the long period will make for some beautiful, powerful lines. The afternoon will get messy, but that morning window is a gem.

The following week continues with surfable mornings, but the wind is never quite as good. The swell does drop off a bit by the end of the window, with the 18th of September showing a 4ft SW swell, but the energy is fading.

One thing to note: the water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Alright, that’s the long view. It’s a waiting game for that Sunday morning, but it could be worth the wait.

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.
