Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hells Mouth (Porth Neigwl) over the next 16 days.
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest, it’s a grim outlook for Hells Mouth (Porth Neigwl). We’re looking at a long stretch of barely a ripple. The water is sitting at 62° and that’s a notable 4° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a bit of a weird one.
The first few days, from Thursday the 9th right through to Monday the 21st of July, are a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly 0.3ft to 1ft, and even though the wind is often light or offshore, it’s just not enough to push anything worthwhile. The combined wave energy is next to nothing, with values like 2 (2) or 4 (4). It’s a real flat spell.
There’s a bit of a flicker on Tuesday the 21st afternoon. The swell picks up to 2ft from the southwest, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy reaches 35 (35), which is still weak. The wind is cross-off from the NNW at 9 mph, so it’ll be clean, but it’s not going to be anything special for a decent paddle.
Then, on Wednesday the 23rd of July, we get a brief moment of hope. The morning looks glassy with a slight air from the NNW, and the swell is 1ft from the southwest. The combined energy is 13 (13). It’s a long way off, so don’t get your hopes up too much, but if the forecast holds, that could be a fun little session on a small board. The rest of the week after that looks like it’s going flat again.
This is a tough one. For a beach and reef setup like this, with such a prolonged lack of swell, it’s fair to say the conditions are more suited to a day off than a surf. The best bet, if you’re desperate, is that Tuesday afternoon or the glassy Wednesday morning, but keep expectations low.
