Pererenan Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again—now in feet and Fahrenheit for you.

So for Pererenan (Bali), the next couple weeks are nothing to write home about, but there’s some windows. The first few days have swell around 4 to 6 ft with that ESE cross-off wind—keeps it clean but not epic. The combined energy is solid but not bonkers, around 1710 Sunday morning, then drops to the 800s Monday.

Sunday the 26th starts with a 8 ft SE swell, short period at 9 seconds. Cross-off wind from the ESE at 16 mph keeps the face tidy. Morning’s the pick. Water temp is 80°, pretty normal for this time of year—no wetsuit needed. Monday the 27th kicks up to 22 mph cross-off wind, swell drops to 7 ft, still short period at 8 seconds. Surfable.

From Tuesday the 28th through Wednesday the 29th, swell shifts to SSW, longer period (14–16 seconds) but height drops to 3–4 ft. That long-period groundswell will wrap in nice at the reef, but it’s small. Energy in the 600s and 800s.

Thursday the 30th is steadier—5 ft SSW, 15 seconds, cross-off wind easing to 12 mph. Combined energy 1262 morning, 1491 afternoon. Clean afternoon—solid session for intermediate folks.

Friday the 31st has 4 ft SSW, very long 17 seconds in the morning, light 9 mph cross-off. Clean, with gaps between sets. Combined energy 1483. Afternoon gets a little cross-chop.

Saturday August 1st pushes to 5–6 ft, 16–18 seconds. Afternoon is clear and 6 ft, 18 seconds, 1925 energy. That’s one of the better windows—still cross-shore but manageable.

Sunday August 2nd holds 6 ft SSW, 16 seconds, cross-off in the morning—clean. Combined energy 1733. Good morning. Afternoon goes cross-shore.

Second week, Monday the 3rd through Wednesday the 5th, consistent 5–6 ft SSW, 14–15 seconds. Winds SE/E, mostly cross or cross-off. Energy 1100–1560. Surfable, not classic.

Thursday August 6th gets a push to 7 ft SSW, 16–17 seconds. Energy 2188 morning. Getting solid—cross-shore chop, but experienced surfers will like the power. Too big for beginners.

Friday August 7th drops to 5–6 ft, cross-off and clean in the morning. Saturday August 8th has a small morning at 4 ft, 14 seconds, clean, but afternoon bumps to 6 ft, 17 seconds with 2464 energy.

Sunday August 9th holds 6–7 ft SSW, clean morning. Energy 1910–2124. One of the better days in the second week.

The standout is Monday August 10th—swell hits 10 ft SSW, 16 seconds, with light 9 mph cross-shore winds. Combined energy 4183 morning, 5429 afternoon. That’s serious groundswell. But at 10 ft on a beach-and-reef, it’s expert-only. Very long period (over 15 seconds) means it could close out or be tricky—point breaks would handle it better. Crowds are often here, so don’t expect solitude.

Best calls: Sunday August 2nd morning for clean, solid fun. If you’re an expert, Monday August 10th is the big one—but it’s far out, so keep an eye on it. Right now, it’s not perfect, but there’s enough to get out there.

Rusty out.
