The Lowdown

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. The whole period is focused on one spot, and it’s a solid, consistent run of South-Southwest groundswell. The water’s sitting at 80°, which is about 2° cooler than your average for this time of year, so nothing too wild, just a touch of a chill in the air.

The first proper session to get keen on kicks off Sunday afternoon, August 2nd, at Baya Reef. We’re looking at a 6ft swell from the SSW, with a 16-second period pushing a very strong 1720 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The wind is a cross-shore from the South at 12 mph, so it’s not glassy, but it’s clean enough. It’s a reef break, so it’s for the advanced crew, and it’s known to be consistent, so you’ll get plenty of waves. Keep an eye out for crowds, as it can get busy.

Monday morning, August 3rd, drops a touch to 6ft from the SSW, but the period is a meaty 14 seconds. The wind is a light cross-on at 6 mph, which isn’t ideal, but it’s manageable. Afternoon sees the wind shift back to cross-shore, but the swell dips a little.

Tuesday, August 4th, the swell eases back to 4ft, but the period is a long 16 seconds. The morning is the pick with a light cross-shore breeze, but it’s a smaller day. The swell builds again through the week, with Wednesday morning, August 5th, seeing 5ft and a 15-second period with light cross-shore winds. The afternoon picks up some clouds and a stronger cross-shore breeze, but the swell holds.

The real standout starts to build from Thursday, August 6th, with the swell pushing 6ft and the energy climbing to 1984. By Friday, August 7th, we’re into serious territory. The morning has 8ft of SSW swell, a 17-second period, and a light cross-shore, with the combined energy roaring at 3223. This is the best session on offer – a heavy, powerful groundswell that will be lighting up the reef. You’ll need to be on your game, as 8ft and over is expert-only water. The afternoon gets messy with a fresh 19 mph cross-shore, so get out early.

The following week stays active, with a big pulse showing in the long-range. Saturday, August 15th, is worth a mention. The morning has 5ft, but with a staggering 23-second period, the energy is through the roof at 4930. That is a very long-period groundswell that will wrap around the reef beautifully. The afternoon jumps to a solid 10ft from the SSW, with a 19-second period and an enormous 8091 in combined energy. This is a massive swell, only for the experts, and the cross-shore wind will be fresh, so it’ll be a battle.

Overall, the best bet is the Friday morning, August 7th, for that perfect combination of size, power, and clean wind. The Saturday, August 15th, is a monster on the horizon, but it’s far out, so keep your fingers crossed the wind plays nice.

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.
