Alright, this is Rusty here, and we’re lookin’ at a stretch for Perran Sands. Straight up: the next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag. There’s a blank run of nothin’ worthwhile for the first few days, so don’t get your hopes up too early.
The first real chance of something decent comes on Friday morning, the 3rd of July. It’s not massive, but it’s clean. Swell is 4 ft from the west with a 10-second period, and the wind is glassy – that’s a rare gem right there. Water temp’s sittin’ at 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t be shiverin’. That Friday morning window is easily the best on offer early on – small, clean, and all yours if you’re keen.
That said, the surf goes quiet again for days after that. On Monday morning, the 6th, there’s a tiny 3 ft swell from the west with glassy conditions again, but the energy is weak (101). It’s surfable but ordinary – only worth it if you’re desperate. Then we hit another big gap with barely any wave power, until we get a long-range standout around Tuesday morning, the 14th of July. That one’s a bit more promising: 4 ft from the west, period bumpin’ to 11 seconds, combined energy of 375 – solid moderate. Winds are calm, glassy. It could be a real treat, but it’s two weeks out, so keep an eye on it.
Through the second week, there’s nothing else that really jumps out. The period on the 13th gets up to 15 seconds, but the swell’s only 1 ft, so it’s more of a long-period bump than a proper wave. That 14th morning is the one to circle.
Bottom line: if you’re after a paddle, Friday morning the 3rd is your best early bet, and Tuesday the 14th is the long-range hope. Everything else is pretty flat or messy.
Rusty.

Information about the Perran Sands Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Perran Sands provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Perran Sands can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Perran Sands surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Perran Sands) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Perran Sands may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
