Perlemoen Bay surf guide

Perlemoen Bay is a surf spot that offers a few different options depending on the conditions. It's located in a scenic area and is quite accessible for surfers looking for a session. The spot features a mix of boulders and sand, making it an interesting place to paddle out. It can cater to different swim levels but generally works best for those with some experience.

The waves here can be pretty fun when conditions align. You'll find a right-hand point break that works well when the tide is high, and at lower tides, there’s a nice triangular left-hand reef that breaks over sand and boulders. The best swell direction for getting good waves here is from the west, but it also handles southwest swells. The spot can accommodate swell sizes starting from around 2 feet (0.6 meters) up to a bit bigger, making it versatile. Expect optimal conditions with an east wind and keep in mind that it suits intermediate surfers looking for a decent session.

When you head out to Perlemoen Bay, it's worth checking the tide heights, as it can work at low, mid, and high tides. Being familiar with the break and the surrounding boulders can help you have a better time in the water. Overall, it’s a solid option if you’re in the area and want to catch some waves without too much hassle.
