The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Gonna be a rough start for our Pors Ar Ville stretch. The week kicks off with very little to get excited about, a lot of small, weak pulses that just ain't gonna cut it. That first swell of note doesn't roll in until Saturday morning the 30th of August. Before that, we’re looking at a few days of flatness or just weak dribble.
Alright, the first real glimmer comes Saturday the 30th August morning at Pors Ar Ville (beach and reef). We’ll have a clean 5ft swell from the WNW at 9 seconds, pushed along by a moderate offshore SW breeze. The wave energy is moderate (315), enough to get you moving but it’s advanced-only territory. A bit of a picky start, but it’s the first wave worth paddling for.
Monday the 31st August morning sees a jump in size. The swell is a solid 7ft from the WNW with a 10-second period. The combined energy is strong (951), but the wind is a cross-offshore breeze, leaving the surface clean. At 7ft, this is expert-only territory, too big for the learners.
The real standout from this entire 16-day window is Saturday the 5th September morning. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We get a nice 5ft groundswell from the WNW with a long 12-second period, producing very good wave energy (575). The wind drops right out, becoming a light cross-offshore breeze – glassy conditions in the morning. That long period means the waves will have good shape and power, and it will be a little easier to get out back between sets. For advanced surfers, this is your session. The crowds are listed as "sometimes" for this break, so you might have a few mates out, but nothing too hectic.
The second week is a real mixed bag of small, weak, or windy days. Sunday the 6th September is a write-off with rain and onshore winds. The tail end of the forecast around the 11th and 12th shows some painfully strong offshore winds with no real swell behind them, making it more of a battle than a surf. That Friday the 4th September has a promising 6ft swell from the WNW with a very long 13-second period (980 energy) but it’s carrying a marginal forecast, so keep an eye.
So, to sum it up for Pors Ar Ville: wait out the start, head out Sunday the 30th for a warm-up, but the main event is that Saturday the 5th September morning session. If you can't make that, there isn't much else in the 16-day window that's worth the hassle.
Rusty.
