Table - best surf conditions forecast for Baya Reef over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s size up the surf ahead. We’re looking at a decent southern hemi groundswell window, but it’s going to be a bit of a mixed bag with the wind. The water temp is sitting at 83°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The best option on the cards is Baya Reef – a consistent, exposed reef break for advanced surfers. The standout window kicks off on Friday, July 17th. The morning is where it’s at: a clean 5ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, light offshore-cross winds from the SE at 9 mph. That’s proper shape and peaky energy (combined energy of 1090 – moderate). This is the pick of the whole run. The afternoon gets messy with a fresh cross-breeze, so get it early.
Before that, we’ve got a long stretch of marginal stuff. From Friday, July 10th through to Thursday, July 16th, the swell is there but it’s constantly cross-shore, with moderate breezes and a cross-chop. The swell heights bounce around 3ft to 6ft, mostly from the SSW and SW, but the wind just won’t cooperate. It’s a real grind. Nothing worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate.
Then, from Saturday, July 18th through to Tuesday, July 21st, the mornings clean up a bit with cross-offshore winds, especially Monday, July 20th morning with a solid 7ft SSW swell (very strong energy at 2704) and a 16-second period. That’s a big, powerful groundswell – over 8ft, so it’s expert territory only. The wind is clean, but it’s a beast.
Wednesday, July 22nd morning still has a clean, smaller 5ft SSW swell, but the energy drops (733). Then we hit another rough patch.
Friday, July 24th morning is a wildcard: glassy conditions with a 5ft SE swell, but the period is short (8 seconds) – so it’ll be weak and fat. Not the best.
Overall, the only day you really want to be in the water is Friday, July 17th morning. That’s the one. The rest is either windy, messy, or too big for the average punter. Crowds are possible at Baya Reef, but it’s a reef break, so pick your peak.
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.
