The Lowdown

Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Baya Reef.

Honestly, this forecast is a bit of a heartbreaker. The reef is firing with consistent, powerful southwest groundswell the whole time, but the wind is nearly always cross-shore or cross-onshore, and the afternoons get shredded by a fresh breeze making it lumpy and choppy. The ocean energy is pumping – anywhere from moderate up to very strong – but the texture is the problem.

The first few days, Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th, throw some solid 6 to 7 ft southwest swell with a 16-second period at the reef. That’s deep, long-period juice. But the wind is dirty. Mornings might offer a slight breather, but overall it’s a fight.

The only windows I’d really call a solid shot are Sunday the 20th of September and Thursday the 24th of September. On the 20th, you’re looking at clean 7 ft south-southwest swell with that nice 16-second pulse and a light southerly breeze. It’s still cross-shore, but light, so it won’t scuff the face too bad. That’s your standout session. The 24th is another good one – a 6 ft south-southwest swell with a 17-second period, also under a light breeze. The energy numbers are huge for both. Get there early.

Tuesday the 23rd morning is a smaller option, about 5 ft, but with the lightest airs of the whole window. It’s the cleanest small swell you’ll see.

After the 24th, the weekend of the 27th and 28th goes back to lumpy, moderate cross-shore winds. Swell stays around 6 ft, but it won’t be pretty.

Bottom line: Baya Reef has the swell and the direction it loves, but the wind is working against us. The best windows are those early morning slots on the 20th and 24th. It’s for the advanced crew, and crowds can pop off here sometimes so don’t plan on a solo mission.

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.
