The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's cast an eye over the next couple of weeks for our stretch of coast. It's a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest, but there are a few windows where you'll want to have your board ready.
We're looking at a run that starts with some fun, workable surf, but it's bookended by some proper flat spells. The water temp is sitting at 64.8°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a slightly thinner suit.
The first real chance to get wet is Tuesday, September 8th at Pors Ar Ville (Pors-Ar-Ville). The morning is looking like the pick. We've got a fresh offshore breeze from the southwest keeping things clean, with a solid 4.9ft of west-northwest swell rolling in. The energy is moderate (450), and the period is a decent 10 seconds. It's not going to be perfect, but it's a clean, surfable start. The afternoon, however, sees the wind swing northwest and go cross-shore, lumping it right up, so make the most of the morning.
Wednesday and Thursday look pretty average. The swell is still there on Wednesday, but a cross-shore wind puts a bit of chop on it, making it messy. Thursday drops right off, with the swell fading to just over 2ft, so probably not worth the paddle.
Keep an eye on Saturday, September 12th though. The morning session is a standout. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the west-northwest, and the swell is a clean 3.6ft. It’s not big, but it will be clean and lined up. This is your best bet for a fun, cruiser session with some shape to it. The energy is moderate (256) and with a 10-second period, it should have a bit of push. The afternoon gets a bit crossed up again, so go early.
Sunday the 13th is another option. It's a bit weaker, but the wind stays cross-offshore, keeping the 4.6ft swell clean all day. It’s nothing special, just ordinary but surfable waves if you’re keen.
From Monday, the 14th, things get quiet. The swell drops right out and we're looking at a stretch of poor conditions and small waves through to the 20th. There’s a small window on the 14th morning with clean 3.6ft waves and offshore wind, but overall, the energy is weak and it’s just not worth getting excited about.
It’s a long flat spell, but that changes on Monday, September 21st. This is the real standout of the whole forecast period. We get a proper pulse of energy – very strong (1133) – with a long-period, 17-second northwest groundswell pushing in at 4.6ft. The morning has a strong, cold cross-offshore wind from the west-northwest which will keep it clean. This is a proper, powerful swell. That long period means it will have some serious grunt to it and the energy will be all over the place. This is one for the experienced surfers, as the power will be up. The afternoon gets messy with a strong cross-shore, so again, hit it early.
The swell drops quickly from there, with the period coming down and the winds turning onshore, so the 21st is the day to clear your schedule for. It’s a bit out there, a week and a half away, so treat it as promising but not set in stone.
So, to sum it up: hit Saturday the 12th for the clean, playful waves, but hold out for that big, powerful groundswell on Monday the 21st – that’s the one with real teeth.
