The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Pors Ar Ville in the old-measure. It’s a tricky 16-day window for this exposed beach and reef spot, and it’s one of those starts where you’re just watching the wind and hoping for a change. The first few days aren’t worth paddling out for.
Thursday afternoon, September 3rd, the wind is a cross-off at 15 mph, but the swell is only 4 feet from the WNW with a short period of 8 seconds. The energy is weak at 182. Not much to work with. Friday, September 4th, is the same story, and by Friday afternoon the swell bumps to 6 feet (433 energy), but the wind is still cross-off and it’s marginal.
Saturday morning, September 5th, is the first real sign of life. The wind turns light offshore from the NNE at 3 mph, and the swell is 6 feet from the WNW with a 12-second period (groundswell). The energy jumps to 756. That’s a solid session for an advanced surfer, because this break is for advanced riders only. The water temp is about 65°F, which is average for this time of year. The long period means it’s going to be a bit powerful and straight, but on a reef, it’ll set up nice. Crowds are “sometimes,” so you might have some company.
Sunday the 6th is a dead zone—swell drops to 3 feet and 3 feet, energy down to 151 and 96. The wind goes glassy in the afternoon, but there’s no push.
Monday morning, September 7th, is a shout. The swell is 6 feet from the WNW, period is a very long 13 seconds, and the energy is huge at 968. The wind is a cross-off at 15 mph, which keeps it clean but strong. It’s a big, powerful wave, and it’s marginal for the spot. Not for beginners.
Wednesday morning, September 9th, is the pick of the run. The wind is offshore from the WSW at 9 mph, and the swell is a clean 5 feet from the WNW with a 9-second period. The energy is 386, and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s your window. The water is still around 65°F, so a wetsuit is a must.
The second week is a lot of smaller stuff. Saturday morning, September 12th, offers a glassy session with a 5-foot swell and 431 energy, but the wind is from the SSW. That’s a decent session, but not as good as the 9th. The rest of the week is mostly cross-shore and onshore winds with small waves, and by the 17th and 18th, it’s 3 to 3 feet with weak energy.
Best on offer: Wednesday morning, September 9th. Offshore wind, 5 feet of clean groundswell, and 386 energy. That’s your day. Saturday morning the 12th is a backup if you’re desperate for a glassy session.
It’s a slow two weeks, but the 9th is worth waiting for. The rest is a gamble.
Rusty.
