Pererenan Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Pererenan.

Alright, the next sixteen days are a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s some proper swell on the horizon. The water’s sitting at about 82°F, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We kick off on Friday the 10th of July. The surf’s there, but it’s a touch messy. Morning sees a solid 6ft SSW swell, period of 16 seconds, with a cross-offshore wind from the ESE at 19 mph. The combined energy is strong at 1917, but the forecast says marginal, so don’t expect perfection. It’s a beach and reef setup, and it’s consistent, so there’ll be waves. Afternoon drops a little to 6ft, wind easing to 16 mph, but still cross-off. Crowds can be often here, so you won’t be alone.

Saturday the 11th of July, we’re looking at 5ft in the morning, dropping to 5ft by arvo. Swell from the SW, period 14 seconds. Cross-off wind all day, 12 mph. Clean but still marginal. The energy’s moderate at 1157 and 1234. It’s okay, but nothing to write home about.

Sunday the 12th of July sees a big drop. Morning’s only 3ft, and by afternoon it’s 3ft with a cross-shore wind. The energy’s weak at 390 in the arvo. Not worth paddling out for.

Monday the 13th of July is weird. Tiny 2ft in the morning, but with a very long period of 23 seconds, energy 660. That’s a groundswell, but it’s so small it’s barely gonna break. Afternoon picks up to 3ft with a 21-second period, energy 1038, but the wind goes cross-shore and there’s a cross-chop. Not great.

Now, the first real standout is Tuesday the 14th of July. Morning brings a clean 6ft SSW swell, 17-second period, with cross-off wind. Combined energy is a hefty 2182. That’s got some push. The break is a beach and reef mix, so with that long period, it’ll be lining up better on the reef sections. Afternoon jumps to 7ft, 18-second period, energy 2716, but the wind swings cross-shore, so it’ll get a bit of chop. Still, the morning session is the pick of the early week.

Wednesday the 15th of July is similar: 6ft in the morning, 6ft in the arvo, both clean with cross-off wind. Energy around 2106 and 1807. Solid, but not a standout.

Thursday the 16th of July drops to 5ft, still clean in the morning with energy 1215. Afternoon goes cross-shore again.

The next real standout? Monday the 20th of July. Morning hits 7ft from the SSW, 16-second period, cross-off wind, energy a massive 2413. That’s proper size. At 7ft, it’s getting into expert territory, especially at a beach and reef break. Afternoon stays at 7ft, still cross-off, energy 2313. This is the best on offer in the whole run. If you’re experienced, get in the water.

Tuesday the 21st of July is similar, 7ft in the morning, but the wind stays cross-off, energy 1904. Still good.

Now, the last notable day is Thursday the 23rd of July. The morning is the only session in the whole forecast marked as “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” It’s 5ft from the SSW, 17-second period, with a gentle cross-off breeze from the ESE at 9 mph. Energy 1812. Clean, lined up, and that’s your second standout. Afternoon is still 5ft but with a light cross-shore.

After that, the swell hangs around 4ft to 6ft through to the 25th, but with only light cross-shore winds and occasional thunderstorms. It’s marginal.

Bottom line: if you’re after a proper session, your best bets are the mornings of the 14th of July, 20th of July, and the 23rd of July. The 20th is the biggest, the 23rd is the cleanest. Don’t bother with the 12th or 13th.

Rusty.
