Pererenan Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, checking in from the water’s edge. Let’s talk about what’s shaping up for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way, but it’s not all going to be clean. The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag, with cross-shore winds and a bit of chop making things tricky. The water temp is sitting around 80°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing fancy there.

The real standout starts to show late in the first week. Friday afternoon, August 7th, at Pererenan (beach and reef) is looking like the pick of the bunch. You’ve got a solid 8ft swell from the SSW, period around 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, lots of energy. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze, keeping things clean. The combined energy is a hefty 3628 (moderate to strong). This is going to be a ripping afternoon, but with that size, it’s only for the experienced crew. Don’t be a hero.

The weekend has some solid size too, but the wind gets a bit more cross-shore and messy, especially Saturday afternoon. Sunday morning, August 9th, has a bit of rain and bumpy conditions.

Then, as we push into the second week, there’s another big spike. Monday afternoon, August 10th, sees a 10ft SSW swell with an 18-second period, pumping out a combined energy of 4650 (very strong). That’s a serious amount of water moving around. The wind is still cross-shore though, so it’ll be a beast but not super clean. That’s big, powerful, and only for experts.

The absolute best looking window in the longer range is around Monday, August 17th. The morning shows a 6ft SSW swell, but the period is a monster 20 seconds, pushing that combined energy to 4424. The wind is cross-offshore and clean. Then the afternoon jumps up to 8ft with an 18-second period and an even bigger energy reading of 4836, still with that clean cross-offshore breeze. That afternoon looks like a real gem for the experienced surfer, but it’s two weeks out, so keep an eye on it.

Mid-week after that, Wednesday morning, August 19th, also has a clean, gentle cross-offshore wind and a 6ft SSW swell. A good option for a less hectic session.

Overall, there’s plenty of swell coming, but you’ll want to pick your windows for the cleanest conditions. Friday afternoon the 7th is the early standout, and that Monday the 17th is the long-range one to watch.
