The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here. So we’ve got a 16-day look, and the only break in the picture is Baya Reef, a proper advanced reef setup. The story is a bit of a tug-of-war – there’s decent swell, but the wind is gonna mess with a lot of it. First week is mostly a battle with cross-shore breezes, but there’s one killer morning that really shines.
Water temp is a warm 82°F, which is right where it should be for this time of year.
The best of the trip is Friday, July 17th, first light. We’ve got a 5ft SSW swell with a super long 16-second period. That’s real groundswell, packing 1110 units of energy, so expect some proper walled-up waves on the reef. The big win is the glassy wind – dead flat. It’ll be perfect. The only small thing is this spot can get a crowd sometimes, so get in the water early.
The rest of that first week gets blown out after lunch almost every day with moderate to fresh cross-shore winds. The mornings are your best bet. Thursday the 16th morning offers a smaller 4ft swell (762 energy) with light cross winds – fun but not a hero session. The following Monday, July 20th, morning is packing a powerful 6ft SSW swell with a 16-second period (1762 energy) and a clean cross-offshore breeze. That’s a serious swell, definitely for the experts only as it’s well over 5ft.
Into the second week, the swell settles down. Monday the 28th morning has a 3ft SW swell (665 energy) with a clean cross-offshore wind – a fun, smaller day. Wednesday the 29th morning jumps a bit to 4ft (1156 energy), but it’s got a light cross-shore breeze, so not as clean as Monday.
Just a heads-up, the afternoons in the second half are nearly all a write-off with strong onshore winds. The long-range stuff, especially late July and beyond, is a promise, not a guarantee, but that Friday the 17th morning is locked in.
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.
