G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a bit of a slow start, but there’s some promise creeping in for Baya Reef. This is an advanced reef break that’s consistent and exposed to the southwest swell, but the wind is mostly from the SSE, which keeps it cross or cross-off. The water’s sitting at 83°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year.
The first real sniff of something worth paddling out for is Monday morning, July 13. We’ve got a 0.7m (2ft) SSW groundswell rolling in with a very long period of 21 seconds – that’s serious energy for a small wave, and the combined energy is moderate (790). The wind is glassy, so it’ll be smooth as silk. That’s a standout for the early part of the forecast, but the swell is small, so it’s more of a log or a longboard session.
The real meat of the outlook kicks in from Tuesday, July 14. The swell jumps to 1.8m (6ft) from the SSW with a period of 17 seconds – that’s a solid groundswell with moderate to strong combined energy (2147). The wind is light cross, so it’ll be a bit textured but still rideable. This is getting into the zone where it’s too big for beginners, but good for experienced surfers. The best windows look to be the mornings, when the wind drops lighter.
The standout period is definitely around Monday, July 20. In the morning, we’ve got 2.1m (7ft) SSW swell with a 16-second period, combined energy of 2132 – that’s strong energy. The wind is cross-off and clean, so the waves will have some shape. This is solid, expert-level stuff. The swell direction matches the optimum southwest, so Baya Reef will be handling it well. Expect crowds to be possible, as it’s a consistent spot.
After that, the swell eases but stays in the 1.1m to 1.4m (4ft to 5ft) range through the rest of the week. The mornings on July 21, 22, and 26 have clean conditions with light cross-off winds and reasonable energy. The evenings tend to get blown out by fresh SSE winds, so the early sessions are the go.
Overall, the best of the bunch is Monday morning, July 20 – that’s your standout. Big swell, clean, and plenty of power. The next best is the glassy morning on July 13, but it’s tiny. If you’re an advanced surfer, aim for the 20th.
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.
