Perran Sands Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up at Perran Sands.

First off, the water is sitting at 65° and that’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner suit.

Honestly, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long, frustrating gap with no surf worth paddling out for. The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t arrive until Saturday morning, September 5th. That morning, the wind dies right off to a glassy 3 mph from the east, with a clean 4 ft swell rolling in from the west at a 10-second period. The combined energy is moderate (238). It’s surfable, but the conditions are just very ordinary – not the kind of day you’d set an alarm for. That afternoon stays glassy, but the swell drops to 3 ft.

Then we go quiet again. Sunday the 6th is tiny, with barely 2 ft on offer and offshore wind, but the energy is weak (64). Not worth the rubber.

The next real standout is a long way off, on Monday morning, September 14th. That morning we see a clean 6 ft west swell with a moderate 8-second period, and cross-offshore winds from the east at 12 mph. The energy is moderate (362) and the conditions are clean. That afternoon holds similar size at 6 ft (435 energy) and still clean. That’s a decent little window.

Then the best of the whole forecast is on Tuesday morning, September 15th. A clean 6 ft west swell, now with a longer 10-second period, nice cross-offshore wind from the south-southwest at 12 mph, and solid energy (693). Conditions are clean. This is the pick of the bunch – a proper surfable day with shape and push.

After that, Wednesday morning, September 16th, looks promising too. Glassy conditions with a light southerly breeze at 3 mph, and a 4 ft west-southwest swell at 10 seconds. The energy is moderate (335) and the forecast says expect good surf conditions. That’s a nice way to wrap up the outlook.

So, to be blunt: the first week and a half is a bust. The only two days to really target are Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th. Tuesday morning is the absolute standout – clean, solid, good period. Wednesday morning is glassy and worth a look too. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or just messy.

Stay patient, lads.

Rusty.
