Alright, Rusty here again, talkin’ in feet and miles now. Let’s get into it for Baya Reef.
The first few days, honestly, are a bit of a battle. Swell’s coming from the SSW around 4 to 5 feet, with some decent interval in the 13 to 17 second range – you can feel the groundswell there. But the wind is the problem. It’s mostly cross or blowing onshore, making a mess of it. Water temp’s sitting at about 85°, so it’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – feels nice. But the conditions are choppy and rough. Don’t expect much from Friday the 3rd through Monday the 6th. The combined energy is moderate, but the chop is just gonna ruin the ride.
Alright, here’s the one that’s got my attention. Tuesday morning, July 7th. Clean 5-foot swell from the SSW with a 16-second interval – that’s good, long-period groundswell. The wind is cross-offshore from the SE at about 9 mph. The report says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” This is the best of the first week. Baya Reef is a consistent, advanced reef, so those long intervals will shape up nice here. It’s a little over 4 feet, so beginners might struggle, but for the experienced crew, Tuesday morning is your go. Crowds are possible, so get in early.
The rest of the week into the weekend (July 10th and 11th) fades. Swell drops to around 3 feet, interval drops, and the wind gets fresh and lumpy. Not good.
Lookin’ into the second week, Tuesday morning, July 14th, shows up again with a similar clean setup: 5-foot SSW swell, 16-second interval, cross-offshore wind. The report calls it excellent for experienced surfers. Combined energy is solid. That’s promising, but it’s a long ways off, so don’t count on it just yet.
Then Friday morning, July 17th – a real interesting one. Swell’s smaller, about 3 feet, but it’s from the SW with a massive 20-second interval – that’s the long, groundswell stuff. And the wind? Glassy. Dead calm. The combined energy is lower, but with that glass and long period, the wave quality on a reef could be really special. Long-range call, so keep an eye on it.
Mostly, the wind is messy, so if you see a morning with clean cross-offshore wind, that’s your window. The standouts are Tuesday the 7th and Tuesday the 14th.
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.
