Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what this spot is doing for the next couple of weeks.
First off, we’re talkin’ Baya Reef. It’s a proper advanced reef break, so no messing around – you’ll need your wits about you. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of the year, so nothing wild there.
The pattern for the next 16 days is a bit of a slow burn with a few glimmers. The early part of the week is looking pretty average. Starting Sunday (5th July) we’ve got solid energy in the water – the combined swell energy is up around (1284) – but it’s messy. Cross-on winds and a bit of a chop are spoiling the party, with wave heights around 6ft and a long period. Not the cleanest setup.
Monday (6th July) is more of the same: a bit of energy (1092) but cross-shore breezes and lumpy conditions. Then Tuesday morning (7th July) is where things get interesting. We’ve got a clean session with light cross-offshore winds, swell from the SSW at 4ft with a 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell, and it’s gonna wrap in nicely here. The combined energy is (1045) – moderate but clean. This is a standout.
Wednesday (8th July) morning is still clean with a little more size at 6ft and a 15-second period, but the wind starts to pick up through the afternoon. Thursday morning (9th July) keeps that clean feel at 5ft. After that, the wind gets cross and lumpy again for the rest of the week.
Now, we hit a bit of a lull. Late Saturday (11th July) through Sunday (12th July) the swell drops right off – down to 2ft and weak energy (297). Not worth paddling for.
But hold on. Look ahead to Monday morning, 13th July. That’s your real gem. Clean light winds, a 3ft SSW groundswell with a *20-second period*. That’s a very long period. The combined energy is (1165), and the conditions are marked as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the pick of the entire outlook. That long-period swell will be lining up beautifully on this reef, offering long, smooth walls. Get on it.
Tuesday (14th July) and Wednesday (15th July) mornings offer some clean-ish windows, but nothing like that Monday. By the weekend of the 19th July, Sunday morning is looking clean at 5ft with a 14-second period and light offshore winds – another solid session to consider.
So, to wrap it up: the standout is Monday morning, 13th July. That 20-second groundswell with clean conditions is a no-brainer. Tuesday morning the 7th and Sunday the 19th are your other decent calls. Everything else is either too windy or too small.
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.
