The Lowdown
Alright, crew, let’s break it down in feet. We’ve got a 16-day look at Pors-Ar-Ville, and I’ll be honest—this one’s a test of patience.
The pattern stays weak for a long stretch. From Sunday the 9th through Friday the 21st, it’s all ankle-biters and knee-high slop. Swell barely touches 3-4 feet on the best days, periods are short, and most of the time the wind is wrong—onshore or side-shore. Wave energy is low, barely scratching 100 on most days. If you’re new to this, skip the first two weeks. Even for the regulars, there’s just nothing to sink a rail into. Water temp is around 65°F, right where it should be for mid-August, so at least it’s nice for a dip.
Here’s the one that matters: Saturday the 22nd. That morning, a pulse of northwest groundswell pushes in at 4-5 feet, with a light, clean offshore breeze out of the southwest. Energy jumps to 168. It’s not a monster, but it’s far and away the best window in the whole outlook. Pors-Ar-Ville is an advanced spot with a reef mix, so when the wind is off and there’s a bit of size, it can fire. That morning is your only real shot. The afternoon gets messy with a rising breeze.
After that, Sunday the 23rd gets howling cross-off winds that kill the shape, and Monday the 24th goes choppy again. The rest of the back half is a write-off.
What I’m telling you: Don’t hold your breath until the 22nd. That Saturday dawn session is the one bright spot. Everything else is flat and bumpy. Be ready for that window.
