The Lowdown
Alright, so we’re lookin’ at the same spot – Baya Reef – and only this break for the next 16 days. It’s an advanced reef setup, wide open to south-west swell. Water temp’s about normal for this time of year, no big anomaly. The combined energy numbers are gonna be in the high hundreds to over 5,000, so there’s real power in the water, but the wind is the story – nearly always cross-shore or cross-on, bumpin’ up the surface. From Wednesday the 29th of July through the first week of August, you’re lookin’ at 1.0m–1.8m SSW groundswell with periods of 14–19 seconds. Good lines, but the wind’s usually makin’ ‘em rough, especially after lunch. Mornings with light breezes are your best bet, but still mostly cross.
The real gem is the morning of Thursday, August 6th. Glassy conditions – wind’s flat calm – with a 2.0m SSW swell at 16 seconds. Combined energy of 2203, that’s strong stuff, and the surface is glass. That’s the cleanest session in the whole period. Next morning, Friday August 7th, also has a clean window – 2.5m SSW groundswell at 19 seconds with cross-off wind, energy at 4996 – that’s a serious slab for the experts. Those two mornings stand way above the rest. After that, the pattern repeats: mornings decent or cleanish, afternoons get mashed by fresh to strong SSE winds (30–35 km/h) that leave a lumpy chop. By the second week, you’re still gettin’ 2–2.4m SSW swells in the mornings with light or gentle cross-shore breezes, but the wind picks up again each afternoon.
Crowds are “sometimes” here, so you won’t be alone, but it’s not a madhouse. Anything over 2.5m is for experts only – that Friday the 7th morning is definitely in that zone. Best advice? Point your board at that Thursday the 6th morning. Glassy, powerful, and clean. That’s the one.

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.
