The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the waves ahead. We’ve got a real mixed bag on the cards, and to be honest, things are pretty flat for most of the run.
To start, we have a long, quiet stretch. From now until the 5th of August, there’s barely a ripple worth mentioning at Pors Ar Ville. We’re talking tiny 1ft to 2ft slop with weak energy (a paltry 26 to 57 in the energy stakes) and messy cross-onshore winds. It’s not looking good at all. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Things try to perk up a little on the 5th of August. We’ll see a bump to 4ft from the W, but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s not got much grunt. The wind is a cross-offshore, which helps, but the energy is still just moderate at 135. It’s still tagged as poor surf conditions. For the rest of the first week, it’s back to tiny, weak waves and dodgy wind.
Now, the second week gets a little more interesting. The 10th of August brings a moment of calm, with glassy conditions in the morning and a small 3ft swell from the WNW. That’s a rare window of clean, little waves. A standout moment happens on the 11th of August – Tuesday afternoon we see a jump to 3ft from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds and a combined energy of 209 (moderate wave energy). The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so expect some texture but better shape.
Heading into the 15th of August (Saturday), we get the most promising window. The swell builds to a consistent 4ft to 4ft from the WNW, with the energy hitting 164. It’s paired with a cross-offshore breeze, so the faces will be clean. This is the best on offer for the whole 16-day run: Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th of August will see the biggest surf with clean conditions. On the 16th, it’ll be 4ft from the WNW with a fresh cross-offshore wind and energy climbing to 176. Get on it if you can, but remember it’s long-range so keep an eye on the charts.
Plain and simple: the first week is a write-off. The second week gives us a couple of decent, clean windows, with the 15th and 16th being the clear standouts. Don't hold your breath before that.
Rusty.
