Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya from the coast. Let’s get straight into it.
We’ve got one spot on the radar for the next couple of weeks, and that’s Baya Reef. It’s an advanced reef break, so this isn’t a beginner’s game. The water temp is sitting around 83.3°, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing unusual there. The forecast is a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a few windows where it could get real good.
The first few days are pretty ordinary. Sunday the 5th is a write-off with that afternoon thunderstorm risk and a cross-shore wind messing things up, even though there’s some decent energy in the water (1332). Monday the 6th is similar – morning has a little more hope with lighter cross-shore breeze and a 3.9ft SSW swell, but it’s still marginal.
Now, Tuesday the 7th morning is where it gets interesting. The wind drops right off to almost nothing with a cross-offshore flow, cleaning up a 4.3ft SSW groundswell with a long 16-second period. That’s the kind of energy that wraps into a reef like this beautifully. The combined energy is solid at 1011, and the conditions are described as clean. This is the standout of the first week – early Tuesday morning will be the pick. The wind stays light on Wednesday the 8th morning too, with a bit more size at 5.9ft from the SSW, period 15 seconds, and clean conditions. That’s another good session, though the afternoon gets blown out.
There’s a real quiet spell from the 10th through the 12th. The swell drops, the wind gets messy, and it’s not worth paddling out. Sunday the 12th has waves barely 2.3ft – a total nothing.
Then things ramp back up in a big way. Monday the 13th morning is an absolute gem – glassy conditions, a 3.6ft SSW groundswell with a massive 20-second period. That is a deep ocean pulse, and on a reef like this, it’ll set up some beautiful, long lines. The combined energy is pumping at 1404 despite the smaller height, because that period means power. This is the standout of the whole outlook – get on it if you can. Keep in mind, a period that long can make the waves a bit walled at beach breaks, but on a reef, it’s a dream. The afternoon gets bigger at 5.9ft but the cross-shore wind spoils it.
The following week continues with a similar rhythm. Mornings are your friend. Thursday the 16th morning has another clean window with a 5.2ft SSW swell and light cross-offshore winds. Saturday the 18th morning pushes up to 5.9ft from the SSW with clean conditions, but the afternoon gets a strong cross-shore. The week after that, the 19th and 20th, the swell starts to fade and the wind turns onshore, so the quality drops off.
Overall, the standout sessions are Tuesday the 7th early morning, Wednesday the 8th early morning, and especially Monday the 13th early morning. Those are the ones to circle on the calendar.
Stay safe out there.

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.
