Pererenan Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks for Pererenan.

It’s a bit of a mixed bag ahead. We’ve got some solid swell on the cards, but the wind and quality are going to be the main talking points. The water's sitting at a warm 82°, right now, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year.

The week starts off a bit rough. Friday the 3rd and Saturday the 4th have some decent sized swell – around 6ft to 7ft from the SSW – with a long period of 14 to 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy in the water, with moderate wave energy in the 1400-1800 range. Problem is, the wind is mostly cross or cross-shore at 9-12 mph, putting a bit of chop on the face. It’s surfable, but it's not as clean as we'd like. The decent score suggests it’s marginal.

Things start to look up on Sunday the 5th. The morning is your pick of the early run. We’re looking at a clean 6ft SSW swell at 14 seconds, with a nice cross-offshore breeze from the ESE at 9 mph. The wave energy is still solid at 1535. The models are calling for excellent conditions for experienced surfers here, and with the consistent nature of this break, you should score some fun ones before the crowds show up.

Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th see the size drop a bit, with clean conditions in the morning due to cross-offshore winds, but the best of the swell is passing. Wednesday the 8th through Friday the 10th, the swell jumps back up, with Wednesday afternoon hitting 7ft from the SSW at a 16-second period. That’s a lot of energy – over 2400! But again, those cross-shore winds at 12-16 mph keep it from being pristine. It’ll be powerful and chunky if the tide lines up.

The second week really tails off. From Saturday the 11th, the swell drops under 4ft and the period shortens, with combined energy falling under 1000. The winds stay light to moderate, but there’s just not enough grunt to get excited about. Wednesday the 15th tries to give us a pulse back to 6ft, but the cross-shore wind isn't helping.

The standout of the whole outlook? It’s got to be Saturday the 18th of July. The afternoon session looks absolute magic. You’ve got a 5ft SSW groundswell hitting with a seriously long 18-second period, pumping out strong wave energy of 2040. And get this – the wind goes glassy in the morning and then switches to a light offshore from the ESE in the afternoon. For a beach-and-reef setup like Pererenan, that long period groundswell and offshore wind is a recipe for perfection. It’s a solid option for experienced surfers with the size and power. The morning of the 18th is glassy, but wait for that afternoon to really score.

Crowds can be an issue here, especially on a weekend when conditions clean up, but for that Saturday session, it might be worth the paddle battle.

Rusty, out.
