The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what we’re looking at for Pors-Ar-Ville over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a flat spell to kick things off. From Saturday the 8th through pretty much the whole first week, we’ve got tiny swell—mostly around 1.5 ft to 2 ft—with onshore or cross-shore breezes keeping things choppy and messy. Water temp is sitting at a mild 65°F, which is about normal for this time of year, but there’s not much to get excited about in the water. The combined energy is low, often under 100 (kN/m), so you’re looking at weak, dribbly waves. Best to save the wax for later.
Things start to look a little more interesting on Thursday morning, August 13th. Swell bumps up to 3 ft from the WNW with an 11-second period, and the wind turns cross-offshore, cleaning things up nicely. The energy jumps to 207 (kN/m), so there’s some push behind it. This is your best bet in the first week if you’re keen for a session, but don’t expect anything overhead.
The second week stays modest. There’s a slight increase around the 16th and 17th, but winds are mostly cross or onshore, so quality suffers. The real standout window arrives on Saturday, August 22nd. Swell builds to 5–5.5 ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, and we get clean cross-offshore winds from the W at 18–22 mph. Energy levels jump to 374–454 (kN/m), so this has some proper grunt. It’s going to be solid, clean surf—definitely the highlight of the outlook.
By Sunday, August 23rd, swell hits 8 ft from the WNW with a 10-second period and energy skyrockets to over 1200 (kN/m). That’s serious size, meaning it’s expert-only territory. Winds are cross-shore and moderate, so expect some chop on the face. This one’s for the experienced crew only—beginners and intermediates should sit this one out.
So: the whole first week is a write-off for decent waves. The 13th offers a brief glimmer of clean, small surf. But the real action is on the 22nd and 23rd—Saturday brings the clean, fun-sized swell, while Sunday delivers the big, powerful stuff for pros only.
