The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk in feet and miles per hour for the same stretch at Pors Ar Ville.
The only real standout that’s worth paddling out for is Sunday morning, September 13th. We’ve got a clean 4-5 foot swell coming out of the WNW with a nice 11-second period and 452 of combined energy. The wind’s offshore, so the face will be clean and glassy. It’s an advanced wave, so leave the foamies at home. The water temp is sitting right about normal for the season. Crowds can pop up here, but it’ll be a solid session.
Then the forecast goes dead. From Monday the 14th straight through to Thursday the 19th, there’s nothing—just small junk, onshore wind, or a choppy mess. That’s a solid five-day lull.
Friday the 18th morning offers a little relief. Swell comes up to a head-high 5 feet from the WNW, still clean with a cross-offshore breeze and 766 of energy. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best of a rough patch. That afternoon pushes to 5-6 feet with a longer 13-second period and 932 energy, but the wind starts to swing.
Then we get a big one on Saturday the 20th. There’s a solid 5-6 foot NW swell with a very long 14-second period—that’s real groundswell energy, 1170 of it. But the wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be lumpy. That long period can also make a beach break sectiony and hard to get a clean ride. For experts only, and even then, kinda messy.
A small glassy moment on Tuesday the 22nd morning with a knee-high 3 foot groundswell and a 12-second period, clean as a whistle. Grab a log.
After that, it’s all downhill to flat, so don’t sleep on that first Sunday.
Rusty.
