Pererenan Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, crew, Rusty here diggin' into what Pererenan's got cookin' for the next couple weeks.

Let's be real, the first stretch is a bit of a flat tire. There's swell in the water, but the stars ain't aligning. The water's a balmy 27°, right where it should be for this time of year.

Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th we got a solid SW swell runnin', 5ft to 7ft, with a long period of 14 to 18 seconds. That's some proper groundswell energy, with combined swell energy in the strong range (1758 to 2625). The problem is the wind. It's blowing cross-shore from the SE, puttin' a little wrinkle on the surface. The call says "marginal," and I'd agree. It's rideable, but you'll be workin' for it.

Monday the 14th through Tuesday the 15th, the swell drops a touch, still coming from the SW and SSW at 5ft to 6ft. The wind turns a bit more cross-off from the ESE at times, cleaning it up. The energy is still moderate to strong (1295 - 1566), but expect company 'cause it gets "often" crowded. The period hangs in that sweet 15-16 second zone.

From Wednesday the 16th to Saturday the 19th, it's a mixed bag. Swell size bumps around from 3ft up to 6ft. The wind stays a pesky cross or cross-off breeze. The energy drops, hitting as low as 845 on Friday, which is weak. It's average, workable surf.

Now, let's talk about the good stuff. A new pulse of SW swell hits Sunday the 20th, pushing 7ft to 7ft with a 16-second period. Energy's back up strong.

But the real standout, the one that's got me stoked, is Wednesday the 25th and Thursday the 26th of September. We're a week out, so take it with a grain of salt, but the numbers are killer. On the 25th, we got a 10ft SSW groundswell with a 19-second period – that's a very long period. The combined energy is an enormous 7490.

For a beach and reef break, a period that long can make the waves a little fat, but that raw power is undeniable. With waves over 8ft, this is expert territory. The wind stays a gentle cross-shore, which is a huge plus for keeping it clean. The following Saturday the 27th holds an 8ft swell with a 17-second period, so the run looks solid. The 26th keeps 10ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon.

So here's the bottom line: the first week and a half is for a fun paddle, nothing special. The real window, the one to circle on your calendar, is that Wednesday the 25th through Thursday the 26th. It's a long-range promise, but it's the best call in the whole forecast if the swell lines up right.

Rusty.
