The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Pors Ar Ville over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a tough one to get excited about. This stretch is looking like a total flat spell. There’s not a single decent recommendation in the whole 16-day window. The forecast shows a long run of poor surf conditions, with nothing that’s really worth paddling out for. For an exposed spot like Pors Ar Ville, that’s a rough run.
We start on Wednesday the 15th with tiny, weak swell from the NE at 2 ft, and a period of just 6 seconds. That’s windswell, and it’s junk. The combined energy is a measly 50 (weak energy), and with a light onshore breeze, it’s messy. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is about 2° warmer than normal for this time of year – a bit above average, but nothing wild.
The next few days are just more of the same: tiny waves, poor wind, and no energy. On Thursday the 16th, we’re down to 2 ft. Friday the 17th is even smaller, with 1.0 ft. By Saturday the 18th, we’re scraping 1.0 ft and a bit of cross-shore wind. The whole pattern is just a long, boring gap of nothing surfable.
We do see a tiny bump in energy around the 21st of July, with a 1 ft WNW swell and a period of 10 seconds, giving us a combined energy of 53 (still weak). The wind is onshore though, so it’s not clean. On the 24th, we get a clean window with cross-offshore winds and a 0.7 ft swell from the WNW with a 13-second period, but the swell is so small it’s barely a ripple.
The most notable event is on the 30th of July, Thursday afternoon. We get a 4 ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy of 134 (moderate). That’s the biggest swell of the period, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s choppy and lumpy. It’s still rated as poor surf conditions. For a beginner, 4 ft is okay, but the short period and onshore wind will make it a messy closeout.
Look, sometimes you get a blank run like this. It’s just the way it is. The forecasts can change, but for now, your best bet is to keep the board in the car and maybe check the wind. If you’re desperate, the 30th might offer a few weak, wind-affected waves, but don’t expect much.
Rusty.
