Pererenan Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

We’ve got a solid run of swell lining up at Pererenan, a beach and reef set-up that's exposed to the SW. The water’s sitting at 26°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so the wetsuit call is easy.

The pattern kicks off on Monday, 17th August, but it’s a bit of a slow starter. The swell is there at 5 ft from the SSW with a 14-second period, but the wind is cross-shore and the energy is moderate (916). The call is a bit marginal, so you might be better off waiting a day.

Things start to build nicely on Tuesday, 18th August. Swell pushes to 6 ft, period stretches to 16 seconds, and the wind swings cross-offshore, keeping it clean. The energy jumps up to strong (2911). This is where it starts to get interesting.

The real standout, though, is shaping up for Wednesday, 19th August. The morning swell hits 8 ft from the SSW with a long 18-second period, and the energy is strong (3609). The afternoon clean-up is even better: 8 ft, 17-second period, cross-off wind, and the energy cranks to 4101. This is big, powerful groundswell. For a spot like Pererenan, that long period is going to wrap in nicely, but it might be a handful for the beginners – this one’s for the experienced crew. Thursday and Friday follow a similar theme with solid 8 ft to 8 ft swell and cross-off winds, keeping the quality high.

We see a bit of a dip over the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd, with the swell dropping back to 7 ft and 6 ft, and the wind going more cross-shore, so the surface gets a little bumpy. Still surfable, but not the pick of the forecast.

The following week stays in the 5 ft to 6 ft range, with mostly cross-shore winds. The best of that second week looks like the morning of Thursday, 27th August, with 5 ft swell but a solid 17-second period and clean cross-off wind. A bit smaller, but the quality could be there.

Further out, we've got a promising signal on the 31st of August and into the 1st of September. On Monday the 31st, the afternoon swell jumps to 7 ft from the SSW with a very long 19-second period and strong energy (4218). Then Tuesday the 1st of September morning has 8 ft from the SW at 18 seconds, with clean cross-off winds and energy at 4045. This looks like another big groundswell pulse, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the updates.

Overall, the best of the bunch is Wednesday afternoon, 19th August. That 8 ft groundswell with clean cross-off wind is going to be firing. For the more adventurous, the 1st of September morning is one to circle on the calendar.

Rusty.
