Pors Ar Ville Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's see what we've got comin' down the pike.

Gotta be honest, the next few days are lookin' flat and ugly. From now through Friday the 24th, the swell is barely a ripple, like 0.7ft to 1ft, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore. Not even worth waxing the board for.

The first real chance of somethin' rideable is Saturday the 25th. The waves are still tiny, but the wind swings around to a cross-off out of the WNW by the afternoon, and the ocean gets clean. The swell is too small to call a number, but it's clean glass.

Now Sunday the 26th is where we finally get some juice. We're talkin' a 4ft to 5ft swell from the WNW. The combined energy jumps up to a moderate (173-207), so there's some push. The period is short though, only 7 seconds, so it's gonna be a bit lumpy and won't have that long, smooth line. Sunday morning has clean conditions with that cross-off breeze, but by the afternoon it goes cross-shore and gets a little chopped up. For a beach and reef set-up, this is gonna be a fun, punchy wave for the advanced crew only.

Monday the 27th keeps that swell hangin' around, 4ft to 4ft, and the period stretches out to 9 seconds, which is way better for shape. The energy is stronger, in the moderate-to-strong range (199-244). The problem is the wind. It's onshore from the NNE and NE, and gets up to 18 mph in the afternoon. That's gonna blow it out and make it choppy. Real shame, 'cause the swell has some grunt.

After that, the swell fades back down through the end of July and into the first few days of August. We get a little bump around Saturday the 1st of August with 4ft to 4ft swell (energy 131-161), but the winds are cross-onshore the whole time, so it's lookin' messy.

The only other moment that catches my eye is Monday morning the 3rd of August. The swell's only 2ft, but we get a light cross-off wind from the WNW, and the ocean turns to glass. It's not big, but if you're jonesin' for a clean little session on a log, that's your window.

Look, there's no real "go-day" in this 16-day stretch. The best of a bad bunch is probably Sunday the 26th in the morning, when we have some size and clean wind. Everything else is small, onshore, or choppy. Beginners should stay clear of anything over 5ft, and most of this is too bumpy to be fun anyway. For you salty dogs, keep an eye on that Sunday the 26th morning, but don't hold your breath for perfection.

Rusty.
