The Lowdown
Alright, let's get this sorted, mate. Rusty here with a look at what's coming our way over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, we’ve got a bit of a slow burner on our hands here. The next few days are really just about getting a little wet, not anything to write home about. The first real whisper of something decent comes through on the morning of Sunday the 26th of July at Baya Reef (a reef break for advanced surfers). You’re looking at a small 3 ft SSE swell, but it’s cross, and the energy is weak (357). Honestly, it’s more of a paddle than a surf. Sunday afternoon sees the swell jump to 6 ft, but it comes with a stiff 12 mph cross-shore breeze, which will chop it up. Not worth your time.
Now, Monday morning the 27th of July is where you want to be in the water. We get a glassy morning with that same 3 ft SSE swell. The wind is a slight 3 mph from the S, making it absolutely clean. It’s still small, but the conditions will make it the most fun you’ll have in the early part of this run. The energy is still weak (356), but for a few solo waves, it’s a winner. The afternoon falls apart again with that cross-shore wind.
We then hit a bit of a flat patch with marginal conditions right through until the morning of Thursday the 30th of July. That morning, the swell drops to 3 ft from the SSW, but the period stretches out to a very long 19 seconds. The energy jumps into the moderate range (1255), which is interesting. The wind is light and cross, so it’ll be clean but small. This is a groundswell, so Baya Reef being a reef break is perfect for it – won't be as straight as a beachie.
The real standout, the one you circle on the calendar, is the morning of Monday the 10th of August. This is a long way out, so don't get too attached, but the models are hinting at something serious. We’re looking at a solid 10 ft SSW groundswell with a very long 19-second period. That’s a big, powerful, long-period swell. The combined energy is cranked up to a strong 5989. Even though the wind is a light cross, this is a lot of water moving around. At that size, it's expert-only at Baya Reef. For you expert chargers, this is the session to have your eye on, but it is over a week and a half away, so check back closer to the date.

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.
