The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, and I've been staring at the charts for Pors Ar Ville. It's a beach and reef setup, and we're looking at a bit of a slow start, but there's some serious pulse building out there for the patient crew.

We're kicking off on Monday, 24th August, but honestly, it's a write-off. We've got a fresh ENE breeze blowing cross-on into a tiny 0.7ft swell. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 66°. The combined energy is a weak 7, and the whole thing is lumpy and poor. You're better off staying in bed.

Tuesday looks a lot cleaner, but still tiny. Morning brings a light offshore breeze with a 2ft swell from the NNE, but the period is short at 7 seconds and the energy is still weak at 69. It's clean, but barely a ripple. The afternoon is a bit better with a glassy 2ft from the NW, but it's still small.

Wednesday through Friday is a similar story: clean conditions at times, with light offshore or cross-off breezes, but the swell stays under 4ft. The energy climbs into the low three digits on Thursday afternoon and Friday, but it's still marginal. The surf comment is "poor" or "marginal" for most of these sessions. You're just not getting enough to work with.

Then we get a glimmer. Saturday morning, 29th August, sees a 5ft swell from the WNW with a moderate offshore wind. The energy is up to 240 (moderate), and the forecast says "expect good surf conditions." That's your first real window, but by the afternoon the wind swings and the swell drops.

Sunday the 30th has a similar pulse, 5ft W swell with offshore wind in the morning, but it's rated marginal. The energy is 311, so there's power, but it's not coming together perfectly.

The real standout starts to build on Monday, 31st August. The swell jumps to 6ft in the morning, hitting 7ft by the afternoon, all from the WNW. The energy is 505 in the morning and 705 in the afternoon – that's a solid, moderate wave energy. The wind is cross-off and clean. It's still rated marginal, but it's getting meaty. At 7ft, this is getting into the territory where it's for the more experienced crew.

But hold onto your board. The best on offer is shaping up for Thursday, 3rd September. The morning session is a standout. We're looking at a 8ft swell from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds, and a solid offshore wind from the SW. The combined energy hits a strong 924, and the forecast says "expect very good surf conditions." This is a proper groundswell window. The water temp anomaly is a touch warmer than normal, which is nice. The swell direction from the WNW is spot on for the optimum direction. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon hangs on at 8ft, but the wind goes cross-off.

The following week keeps the energy up. The 7th of September sees a 5ft swell with a very long period of 15 seconds from the WNW. The energy is a whopping 1173, and the forecast says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." The wind is light and cross-off, so it'll be clean. However, because that period is over 15 seconds, it's a very long period groundswell. At a beach and reef setup like Pors Ar Ville, it might break a bit too straight and fat. It could be epic, or it could be a bit wonky. The 8th of September is also pumping with 8ft swell and a 12-second period, but the wind is more cross-shore.

So, the first few days are a bust. The standout is the morning of the 3rd of September. The 7th of September is a promising but less certain, very long period swell that could be magic for the right crew. Stay patient.

Rusty.
