The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight: the first week and a half is a write-off. We’re looking at tiny little dribbles—0.6ft to 1ft—with onshore winds messing it up the whole time. It’s basically a lake out there from now right through to the end of July. Even the glassy morning on Friday the 24th has just 0.6ft on offer, so it’s not worth wetting a wetsuit for.
Things finally start to stir around Monday the 27th. We see a jump in wave energy, with the combined energy hitting 79 (weak to moderate) in the morning and 92 by afternoon, but the swell is still only 2ft to 3ft. The wind goes cross-offshore though, which cleans things up. By Tuesday the 28th, that energy climbs to 214 (solidly moderate) by the afternoon with a 4ft swell from the NW, and it’s clean—that’s the first real ray of hope. But it’s still not a standout.
The 29th gets interesting. The combined energy surges to 415 (strong) on Wednesday morning with a 5ft NW swell, period stretching to 11 seconds. That’s long-period groundswell energy, which points to real power. But here’s the kicker: the wind is a cross-onshore breeze, so the surface won’t be glassy—it’ll be a bit choppy. For the advanced crew at Pors Ar Ville (a beach and reef setup), this is the pick of the 16-day window. At 5ft, it’s too much for beginners, but for experienced surfers, the wave quality from that long-period NW swell should offer some solid, punchy rides. Just be ready for a bit of chop.
After that, from the 30th through the end of the forecast, the swell drops back into the 2ft to 3ft zone, with moderate onshore winds again. Nothing else comes close to that Wednesday the 29th.
So, the standout is Wednesday, July 29th, for advanced surfers only at Pors Ar Ville. It’s not perfect—the wind could be better—but it’s the only window with proper energy and size. If you’re committed, that’s your morning session. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
