The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of swell on the way, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag with the wind. The only spot in the frame is Baya Reef, and it’s a consistent, advanced reef setup that needs the right direction. The overall pattern is a long stretch of SW groundswell, with periods hanging in that 13 to 19 second range, so there’s some proper energy in the water. The combined swell energy gets up into the thousands, so there’s plenty of power (moderate to strong energy in the 959 to 3825 range). The catch? The wind is mostly cross or cross-shore, and on a reef, that can mess with the line-up.
The best call is the morning of Tuesday, September 1. The swell is solid at 7 ft from the SW, with a period of 17 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell that will wrap nicely into the reef. The wind is light and cross, which is as good as it gets for this break, and the combined energy is strong at 2466, so there’s plenty of push. It’s an advanced wave, so not for the faint-hearted, but for those who can handle it, this is the standout. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
The next real highlight to keep an eye on is the morning of Sunday, September 13. That’s a week and a half away, so treat it as promising but not locked in. Swell is 7 ft from the SW, 16 seconds, with light cross winds again. The combined energy is a beast at 3825, the strongest of the whole run. If the wind holds, that could be a proper session.
The rest of the period is a bit of a grind. There are waves every day, but the afternoons get hammered by fresh winds that make a mess of things. The mornings are your best bet. The 4th of September and the 7th of September have a brief cross-offshore wind, which cleans things up nicely, but the swell is smaller, around 3 ft to 4 ft. Still, on a reef, that can be fun if you’re on the right board.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, so no need to worry about a thick suit.
Keep it on the dawn patrol and you’ll get the best of it.
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.
