The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, checkin’ in with a long look ahead for Pors Ar Ville.
Right now, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The first few days are pretty flat and messy, with small waves and onshore or cross-shore winds making things choppy. Water temp is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – not a big deal, but you might notice it feels a bit balmy.
Things start to show some life around Friday the 28th of August. We get a jump in swell, 2 ft from the W, but a fresh 22 mph offshore wind is blowing. The energy is moderate (277) and the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s gonna be a bit bumpy and tough. This one is more for the advanced crew as it gets bigger – Saturday morning hits 6 ft and Sunday morning 5 ft, both with strong offshore winds. The wave quality is still marginal, so it’s not a standout, but there are waves.
The real pick of the bunch comes at the beginning of September. Tuesday the 1st of September morning is looking clean, with waist-to-chest high 4 ft swell from the WNW, a clean 16 mph offshore wind from the SW, and moderate energy (254). The break is a beach and reef setup (Pors Ar Ville) that handles a WNW swell best. The offshore wind should groom it nicely early.
Don’t get too excited about the bigger stuff that follows – Wednesday the 2nd pushes 7 ft, but the winds turn cross-offshore, making it less ideal. Still, it will be a clean, powerful wave for the advanced surfers who can handle it. The period stays short, so expect a bit of a lumpy face.
Then we get into the second week. Saturday the 5th of September looks like a write-off – 7 ft but with strong cross-shore winds and a huge energy reading of 980 – just a messy, choppy mess. Sunday the 6th afternoon shapes up a bit better with 8 ft from the WNW and fresh offshore wind – energy is a massive 1145, showing serious power. This is big and for experts only, but the wind is right. Then on Tuesday the 8th of September morning, we get another promising window: 7 ft, offshore wind, 920 energy, and a 10-second period. It says “expect very good surf conditions” – this is the one to keep an eye on. The period stays okay, and the wind holds.
But tune in: Wednesday the 9th of September morning brings a 5 ft groundswell from the WNW with an 11-second period and light offshore wind. Clean, lined up, and moderate energy (544). This could be a sneaky good session for the more experienced crew, especially if the swell direction locks in.
Overall, the second half of the forecast looks far better than the first. It’s a waiting game, but when it comes on, Pors Ar Ville has some proper, powerful, clean waves. The swells are from the W to WNW, which is right in its optimum window. Just remember, the short-period stuff can be a bit jumbled, but the longer period groundswells later on will have more shape and punch. Stay patient, and get on it when the offshore wind is blowing.
Rusty.
