The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what we've got on the cards for Pors Ar Ville.
The overall pattern looks pretty frustrating, to be honest. We're staring down a long stretch of mostly poor conditions and small, messy surf. You’ll need a ton of patience for this outlook.
The first chance at anything decent shows up on the morning of Saturday, September 13th. The swell is a clean 5 ft from the WNW with a moderate energy (530), and the wind is cross-offshore. The waves will have some shape, but it’s borderline. The afternoon still looks surfable but the wind picks up a bit, keeping it just ordinary.
The real standout, and the only time I’d get properly excited, is that window on Thursday morning, September 24th. That’s when the wind goes completely glassy – dead calm – and we get a 4 ft swell from the WNW with a solid period of 11 seconds. The water temp is a mild 64°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’ll feel pretty comfortable. This is the best chance for clean, lined-up waves at this spot.
Outside of that, the run-up is tough. There’s a period from the 15th to the 22nd where it’s almost all no-go, with strong winds—sometimes 15 to 19 mph—and messy, choppy conditions. The 18th of September has some decent energy (743 to 807) but those cross-shore winds will keep it lumpy. The spot is a consistent break, so when the conditions line up, it works. It’s just a matter of waiting for that Thursday morning.
For a spot like this that is fairly consistent, this blank run is a little unusual. Things are bound to turn around.
Rusty.
