The Lowdown
Right, let’s be honest with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for Pors Ar Ville. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, so don’t rush to wax up just yet. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, and that’s where the good news ends. The first real chance of anything decent doesn't even show up until Saturday the 12th, and even then, it's nothing to write home about.
The early part of the week is a write-off. Tuesday the 8th has a bit of swell, around 7ft, but it's coming in with a fresh cross-shore wind and the energy is moderate at best (643). The waves are going to be a lumpy mess. Wednesday the 9th isn't much better, with marginal surf and that cross-shore breeze sticking around. Thursday the 10th drops right off, with the swell fading to under 3ft and poor conditions. Friday the 11th is more of the same – small, crossed-up, and just not inviting.
The first day that even gets a nod is Saturday the 12th. The swell is still small, around 4ft to 4ft, but the wind goes light offshore in the morning and then cross-offshore in the afternoon, cleaning it up a bit. The energy is still weak to moderate (188-339), but it's the cleanest we've seen. Sunday the 13th sees a bit more size push through, with the morning showing 6ft from the WNW, but the wind stays cross-off and it’s still marginal. The period is a touch better at 10 seconds, so there might be a little more push.
Monday the 14th is flat and poor again, and then Tuesday the 15th teases us. The morning has a clean 3ft of swell with a longer 11-second period and light winds. It looks good on paper, but the energy is weak (230). But the afternoon turns to junk as a cross-onshore wind ruins it.
From the 16th onwards, it's a hard no. The wind swings onshore and stays there for days, with the swell bumping around 3ft or so but completely chopped out. The energy picks up significantly on the 23rd for a couple of days, with a strong 17-second period groundswell, but the wind is blowing onshore at 12 mph, and the location is just going to be blown out. That swell at 5ft with that period might be doing something at a protected point, but here at a beach and reef set-up exposed to the WNW, it's not going to be anything but a messy, dangerous closeout. There's nothing here for a paddle surfer for the whole 16 days, to be honest. If the wind holds, this setup looks far more interesting for the kite crew than us. Don't hold your breath.
