The Lowdown
Text 2 (Imperial)
Alright, let’s talk in feet. It’s a slow, flat start for Pors Ar Ville. From now until the end of July, it’s mostly tiny surf with poor conditions. Swell is between 0.7 ft and 3 ft, and the wind is always on it or cross-shore, making it choppy and uninviting. The combined energy is weak, all under 100, so there’s just no power in the water.
The first real window opens up on Saturday, August 1st. The morning is a gem. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – for a perfect, clean surface. Swell hits 5 ft from the WNW with a period of 11 seconds, giving it some real groundswell punch. The combined energy jumps to 503 (moderate). This is the best session of the whole forecast. The water temp is about normal for the time of year. This spot can get busy sometimes, so get there early.
That afternoon, the wind shifts onshore and the swell gets a bit bigger (6 ft), but it gets messy. Sunday morning, August 2nd, is another solid option. We’ve got a clean 7 ft WNW swell (still moderate energy at 867), with a light offshore breeze from the WSW. That’s a proper session, but 7 ft is getting into expert-only territory.
After that, it dies right back down. Monday and Tuesday see the swell drop to 3 ft and under, with poor conditions. The second week (August 4th to 8th) is a total write-off, with only tiny, weak swell and mostly choppy or onshore winds. There’s a small flicker on Saturday, August 8th with a 4 ft W swell, but the energy is low (189) and the wind is cross-off, so it’s nothing special.
Bottom line: the first week is a washout. Your best bet is the morning of Saturday, August 1st, with Sunday morning a close second for the bigger-wave crowd. After that, it’s time to find something else to do.
