The Lowdown
Right, pull up a log me hearties, Rusty here. I’ve been over the charts for this bit of coast and it’s a tale of two weeks. The first bit is a bit of a soggy biscuit, but there’s a decent bite further out.
Water temp is about what you’d expect for the time of year, hovering near 64°F, nothing weird there.
Sunday the 6th is a bust. Pors Ar Ville (beach and reef) has a 3ft swell from the WNW, but it’s weak – combined energy of 151 – and the cross-off wind is just making it a messy, poor session. Stay out.
Monday the 7th shows a pulse. Swell hits 5ft from the WNW, with a long 14-second period. That’s proper groundswell and the combined energy is a solid 801. The wind is cross-off, so it’ll be clean, but conditions are ‘marginal’. For the advanced crew, that long-period WNW is the kind of stuff that works a reef. It’s worth a look if you know the tide.
Tuesday the 8th morning is your first real flicker of hope. A 5ft swell from the west, light offshore wind, and the combined energy of 459 is moderate. The reports say “good surf conditions.” It’s a small window before the wind craps out in the afternoon.
After that, it’s a bit of a lull. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th have tiny, rideable waves (3ft to 5ft), but the energy is weak. The Friday morning offshore wind (11th) will keep it tidy, but it’s not a standout.
Now, the big boy. Sunday the 13th. This is the session. A solid 5ft swell from the WNW, a 10-second period, and combined energy of 530. The wind swings offshore from the SW in the morning, and the word is “very good surf conditions.” This is the one to circle. Slightly over 5ft means it’s for the experienced lot, but with clean offshore wind, Pors Ar Ville should be offering up some gems.
The rest of the second week is a series of near-misses. The 16th has a 6ft groundswell but onshore winds ruin it. The 21st is a complete loss with strong onshore winds.
Keep it simple: the first week is mostly a rest week. Tuesday morning the 8th has a small, clean window. But the real standout, the one you circle in red, is Sunday the 13th.
Rusty.

Information about the Pors Ar Ville Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Pors Ar Ville provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Pors Ar Ville can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Pors Ar Ville may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
