The Lowdown
Alright, mate, let’s talk about the surf at Pors Ar Ville. Right now, we’re in a real dry patch – nothin’ but tiny, bumpy junk for over a week. It’s gonna be a quiet stretch, but don’t lose hope. There’s a pulse of real energy comin’ in the second week that’ll wake things up.
The first time you’ll wanna paddle out is on Friday the 24th of July. The morning’s small – just 1 ft of long-period NW swell with a 13-second interval, but it’ll be glassy with a light offshore breeze. The one to really circle, though, is the afternoon of Sunday the 27th of July. That’s the best day of the run. We’re talkin’ 6 ft of WNW swell (combined energy of 579 – solid), with a 9-second period. That’s gonna be clean and punchy with a light cross-offshore wind. That’s the one. The Tuesday the 28th of July will also hold 6 ft of WNW swell with a 10-second period, but with a fresh offshore wind. That’s gonna be a challenge for the experts only.
Water temp is pretty average for this time of year, nothin’ unusual. Pors Ar Ville is a beach and reef spot that faces WNW, so when that swell arrives, it’ll be workin’. Just expect a few others in the water on the good days – crowds are around sometimes.
First week’s a dud, second week brings the goods. Be patient.
Rusty.

Information about the Pors Ar Ville Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Pors Ar Ville provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Pors Ar Ville can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
