G'day, it's Rusty. We've got one spot on the radar for this forecast, and it's a classic reef setup that demands respect. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, with some clean windows and some absolute howlers that'll have you reaching for the kite gear. Let's get into it.

The overall pattern has some decent SSW groundswell pulsing in, but the wind is the real story. Most afternoons get thumped by a strong SSE breeze, making a mess of things. The real standouts are those early morning sessions, especially when that offshore or glassy wind shows up. It looks like things taper off pretty significantly around July 12th, with a real lull in size and a few days of just ankle-snatchers before a little bump tries to push through mid-week.

Right now, the best bet is the Monday morning (July 6th) at Baya Reef. We've got clean, glassy conditions with a light 4ft of swell out of the SSW, with a period of 13 seconds. The combined swell energy is at 1010, which is a nice, workable bump. The water temp is 84°, which is about average for this time of year, so just a rashie will do. The offshore wind is out of the SSE, keeping it super clean. It's a reef break for the advanced crew only, and crowds are possible, so paddle out early for a piece of that.

The Tuesday morning (July 7th) at Baya Reef is also worth a look. It’s a touch smaller at 4ft, but with a 16-second SSW groundswell and clean cross-off winds out of the SE, it'll have some real punch and shape. The energy is 1079, solid enough. It's an excellent session for those who know the reef.

After that, we hit a bit of a lull. The Wednesday morning (July 8th) has a bit more size, 6ft from the SSW with a 15-second period, but the wind is a bit stronger cross-off, and there’s a lot more energy kicking around (1719). Conditions are clean, but it could be a bit more of a handful.

Then to be honest, it gets a bit messy or small. The Saturday (July 11th) and Sunday (July 12th) mornings offer small, weak waves. The Monday (July 13th) morning is small too, but then we get a glimmer of hope.

The next true standout is the Tuesday morning (July 14th). It’s a week and a half out, so get excited but stay wary. It's showing 4ft of SSW groundswell with a very long 17-second period, combined energy of 1198, and clean cross-off winds. For a reef, that long period is a dream. And again, the Wednesday morning (July 15th) is very similar—another clean, 4ft SSW swell at 15 seconds with glassy conditions. Those are two mornings to circle on the calendar if the forecast holds.

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.
