Pors Ar Ville Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The waiting game is on for Pors Ar Ville. There’s nothing to chase right now, but patience will pay off.

We start off with a bit of a dud. Saturday afternoon, August 29th, sees a big 25 mph cross-off wind making a mess of things. Yeah, there’s a solid 8 ft swell (977 units of energy) from the W, but it’s blown out and rough. A pass for paddling, more of a kite session if you ask me.

Sunday morning, August 30th, is the first real glimmer. The swell has dropped to 5 ft (300 units) from the WNW, and the wind has shifted to a clean offshore from the SW. The water is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Conditions look clean, and this is the first real chance to get out. Not a standout, but a decent start.

Monday, August 31st, holds some potential. Morning brings 7 ft swell (951 units) from the WNW, period of 10 seconds, with a cross-off breeze. It’s a little on the bigger side, maybe a bit much for beginners, but the quality is there. The afternoon stays clean, though the swell dips slightly to 7 ft. Still, it’s solid, but not the pick of the week.

Now, Tuesday morning, September 1st, is a sweet window. The swell has dropped to 4 ft (218 units), but the wind is light from the WSW, making for clean lines. The period is 9 seconds. It's a great option for a fun, easy session without the crowd hassle. The break is *consistent* here, so you won’t be waiting long.

From there, we hit a flat spell. Wednesday and Thursday, September 2nd and 3rd, offer only weak, small swell with marginal conditions. The energy drops under 150 units, and the wind isn’t helping. It’s a quiet few days.

Friday, September 4th, is where things get interesting. The morning shows 6 ft swell from the WNW with a period of 12 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell (936 units of energy). This is the kind of long-period energy that really works at this reef-and-beach setup. The wind is cross-off, but manageable. That’s the best of the first week. The afternoon holds similar size but a shorter 11-second period.

Saturday morning, September 5th, is a standout. We’ve got 6 ft swell (532 units), light offshore wind from the SW, and clean conditions. The period is 10 seconds. This is your morning session. The energy is solid, the wind is perfect, and the break should be linking up nicely. The afternoon goes onshore, so get it early.

After that, the second week is a mix. Sunday, September 6th, is small and poor. Monday morning, September 7th, offers a nice surprise: 6 ft swell (745 units) from the WNW with a 11-second period, and a gentle offshore wind. That’s a good looking session, but Monday afternoon gets hit by a strong 25 mph cross-off again, so time it right.

Tuesday, September 8th, holds a clean 5 ft swell (466 units) with light offshore wind – another solid option.

Then we hit another quiet stretch from Wednesday, September 9th, through Saturday, September 12th. The swell drops below 3 ft, and wind directions turn onshore or cross-on. It’s a real gap.

Sunday morning, September 13th, is the last real highlight. The swell is a modest 4 ft (372 units), but the wind is glassy – completely calm. That’s rare and beautiful. For a reef and beach break, glassy conditions are pure gold. The wave period is 10 seconds, so you’ll get clean, lined-up waves. That’s your best bet in the second week, but it’s a distant forecast, so keep an eye on it.

So, the true standouts: Friday morning, September 4th, with that long 12-second groundswell, and Saturday morning, September 5th, with light offshore winds. In the second week, Sunday morning, September 13th, is the one to dream on.

Stay patient, keep an eye on the wind, and get ready for those sessions.

Rusty.
