The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it. The next couple of weeks look a bit of a mixed bag at Pors Ar Ville (beach and reef). We've got some solid swell windows, but the wind is going to be the main character in this story, often making things messy. The water is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, around 65°, which is a nice bonus.
The first real chance to get wet is on Monday, the 7th of September. It’s not a classic, but there's some hope. Morning brings a 5ft WNW swell with a moderate 14-second period, giving it some grunt. The combined energy is moderate at 801, but the cross-off wind from the west will keep things from being perfect. The afternoon is a little better, with a 5ft WNW swell (13-second period, 816 energy) and lighter NW wind, still cross-off. The wave comment is "expect very good surf conditions," but the overall score is a 3. It’s a start.
Tuesday the 8th is a write-off for surfing. The morning has a strong 25 mph offshore from the SW, which sounds good, but the 5ft WNW swell drops to a short 10-second period, and the energy drops to 502. It's too strong and hard to paddle into. The afternoon turns into an 8ft beast from the WNW with a pathetic 8-second period. That's short-period, lumpy junk from a cross-shore NW wind at 22 mph. That's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddling one. Forget it.
We then hit a rough patch. From Wednesday the 9th through Thursday the 10th, it's a mix of poor surf and onshore/cross-shore breezes. Swell stays around 5ft to 2ft but with weak energy and bad winds. Not worth paddling out.
Friday the 11th shows a glimmer of hope in the morning. A clean 5ft WNW swell with a 9-second period and gentle offshore wind from the WSW. The energy is low at 268, but it'll be clean. The afternoon goes cross-shore and junky again.
Saturday the 12th morning looks okay – a clean 3ft swell (10-second period, 217 energy) with a light cross-off breeze. It’s small but tidy.
Sunday the 13th has some size again, with a 5ft WNW swell and a 10-second period (480 energy). The wind is cross-off from the WSW at 12 mph, so it'll be clean but not glassy. It's a marginal call.
After that, the second week is a bit of a grind. There are a few morning windows on Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th with offshore or light winds, but the swell is inconsistent and the energy is low. By the 16th and 17th, the wind swings onshore and stays there, chopping up even the decent-sized 5ft swells that roll in around the 18th and 20th. Those have long 11-second periods and solid energy (603-663), but onshore winds kill them. There is no standout day in the second week.
For the best bet overall, I’d point you to Monday afternoon, September 7th. You’ve got a clean 5ft WNW swell with moderate energy and a nice 13-second period, which should give some shape. The wind is light and cross-off, so it’ll be the most user-friendly window for an advanced crew. The other mention goes to Friday morning, September 11th for a clean, if smaller, session with gentle offshore wind. The rest is a waiting game.
