The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Baya Reef. This spot is a reef break, so it’s for advanced surfers only, and it’s dialed into that SW swell direction.
The opening move—morning of Friday, July 31—is your cleanest early bet. We’ve got a gentle 4-foot SW swell coming in at a long 17-second period, and the wind is light. The water temperature is pretty normal for the season, nothing wild. The energy is solid (1284) and it should be glassy early.
But for most of the first week, the wind switches to cross or cross-onshore in the afternoons, and the forecast keeps calling it "marginal." The swell holds around 5 to 6 feet through the weekend and into next week, but that afternoon cross-chop will make it bumpy. Stick to the mornings for the cleanest conditions—those early light wind sessions are your friend.
Now, the second week is where it starts to get serious. Friday morning, August 7, you’ve got a clean 8-foot SSW swell with light cross-offshore wind and energy climbing to 2927. But the afternoon gets wrecked by a fresh breeze and lumpy cross-chop.
The one that really gets my blood pumping is the morning of Tuesday, August 11. Clear skies, moderate cross-offshore wind, and a solid 7-foot south swell (that’s our prime direction here) with a long 18-second period. The energy jumps to 3879. The reef will turn those long lines into proper waves. Expect a few others out—crowds are "sometimes"—but it won’t be packed.
Later in the week, Thursday morning, August 13 and Friday morning, August 14 bring bigger stuff, well over 10 feet with light winds in the morning. That’s expert territory—only for those who know the break well. The Thursday morning session has energy at 6131; it’s a beast, but respect the reef.
So, pick your mornings wisely, dodge the afternoon chop, and you’ll find some really good waves here over the next two weeks.
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.
