The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Pors Ar Ville.
Honestly, for the next two weeks, it's a bit of a slow burn. We've got a long stretch of flat, tiny, and onshore junk to get through before things finally wake up. The first surf that's even worth talking about doesn't show until Sunday the 27th of July, so that's nearly a full week and a half of waiting.
Right now, and for most of July, the story is small, weak swells with onshore winds. We see a bit of a pulse on the 21st with a 4ft swell from the NE, but it's got a short 5-second period and a fresh 19 mph onshore wind, so that's a full-on mess. A few mornings might look clean, like Saturday the 18th with a light WNW wind, but the swell is only 1.0ft – barely a ripple.
The real standout, and the only one that gets the blood pumping, comes right at the tail end of the forecast. On Monday the 27th of July, we get a proper pulse of WNW groundswell. It's pushing 6ft in the morning with a long 10-second period and a solid 559 (strong) combined energy reading. The wind is cross-offshore from the WNW, meaning it’s going to be clean. This is the one to circle on the calendar. That swell direction is exactly what Pors Ar Ville likes to see. It’s got some size to it though – over 5ft – so it’s probably a bit much for absolute beginners, but for the advanced crew that this spot is best suited for, it’s going to be firing.
The following days keep the hope alive. Tuesday the 28th of July looks good too with a 5ft swell from the W and gentle offshore winds from the SW, giving a clean 361 (moderate) energy. Then on Wednesday the 29th, it gets even bigger. The morning shows a 7ft WNW swell with a massive 726 (strong to very strong) energy – that’s serious grunt. It's big enough that you'd want to be an expert only, as over 8ft is for the brave. The wind is cross-offshore again, so it'll be lined up, but that much water moving around can get a bit aggressive if you're not on your game. Waves will also be prone to closing out a bit at a beach setup on that size, so keep your line-up smarts about you.
So, to sum it up: a long, flat, frustrating start, but a solid finish. The best on offer is that Monday the 27th into Tuesday the 28th of July. Get ready to wait, because when it turns on, it'll be worth it.
Stay stoked.
Rusty.
