Pererenan

Best time to surf

Year-round; bigger sets May-Oct (dry); wet season smaller/friendlier; glassy shoulders Nov-Dec and Mar-Apr

Shoulder season: Genuinely year-round; wet season takes ~30-50% off the swell but Old Man's/Batu Bolong hold shape on the sandbar

The wave

Break type: Reef break

Bottom: Reef

Wave direction: Both (punchy right, mellow left)

Typical wave length: Punchy right and a more mellow left

Ideal swell: NE-facing; consistent

Ideal wind: Offshore SE/E (dry-season trades); glassy shoulder-season mornings

Working tide: High tide / building tide

Difficulty & skill

Difficulty (1-5): 3-4

Skill level: Intermediate-to-advanced

Options for a mixed group: The punchy right and mellow left disperse the crowd - the left suits intermediates, the right is for advanced; pair with Batu Bolong for beginners in the group.

Safety & hazards

Shallow reef at low tide; crowds

Balawista lifeguards on the main beaches; Canggu clinics; hospitals in Denpasar/Nusa Dua (BIMC, Siloam) ~30-45 min; good signal

Crowd, access & conditions

Crowd & localism: Sources vary - mellow (some guides) to competitive/advanced (operator); flagged

Access & parking: Walk off the sand at Pererenan; north-Canggu cafes and parking

Surf schools & rental: Bali's densest surf-school and rental scene (the surf-school capital)
