Pererenan Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for Pererenan – a beach and reef break that’s consistent and gets the full brunt of the swell.

Water temp’s sittin’ at about 82°, which is dead average for this time of year – nothin’ to write home about.

First chance to paddle out is Saturday July 4th. There’s a solid 6ft to 7ft SSW groundswell rollin’ in with a long 16-second period, and the combined energy is pumpin’ strong at 2001 – that’s some serious juice. But the wind’s a letdown: cross-off in the mornin’, then cross in the arvo, and it’s a moderate breeze so the surface’ll get a bit messy. Mornin’s the cleaner slot, but the notes say the tide might be tricky. I’d say Saturday mornin’ is your best bet out of a so-so first few days.

Sunday the 5th drops to 6ft, 14-second period, energy still solid but fallin’. Wind stays cross – nothin’ glassy.

Wednesday the 8th arvo, though – that’s the one. We’re lookin’ at a 7ft SSW groundswell with 16-second period, energy blastin’ at 2136 – that’s a proper power surge. And the wind’s cross-off with a moderate breeze, keepin’ it clean. That’s the standout of the first week. Size is gettin’ up there, so it’s more for the experienced crew, but it’ll be a fun one.

The rest of the first week holds some size, but the wind’s not always cooperative – some rain showers and fresh breezes pop up.

Second week’s a fade. By Saturday the 11th it drops to 5ft, then all the way down to 3ft by Sunday the 12th. Monday the 13th has a weird little 2ft swell with a 21-second period – super long, but tiny – probably not worth paddlin’ for. Tuesday the 14th and Wednesday the 15th pick up again to 4ft–5ft with clean cross-off wind. Wednesday the 15th mornin’ is the best of the second week – 5ft, 16 seconds, clean.

After that, it’s smaller and the wind turns more onshore. By the 18th and 19th there’s some size (5ft–6ft) but the wind’s cross-on or onshore, so it’s sloppy.

Bottom line: Wednesday the 8th arvo – 7ft, 16 seconds, clean cross-off – that’s your best shot. And Wednesday the 15th mornin’ – 5ft, clean – is a solid backup. But remember, all these have that “marginal tide” tag, so check your charts. With this much energy, the setup might also be a good kite session if you’re into that.
