The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Pors Ar Ville.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a tough one for Pors Ar Ville. The combined swell energy is mostly weak, with values sitting in the double digits, barely cracking 100 just once or twice, so the ocean is just not holding much punch. The good news is that water temp is sitting at 65°F with a tiny 0.9°F anomaly, so it’s about what you’d expect for this time of year.
We start on Wednesday the 29th of July. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the WNW, but the wind is a clean cross-off, so the surface will be clean. The problem is the combined energy is only 94 (weak), and the wave comment says it’s poor surf. It’s just not doing much.
Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st are more of the same – 3ft to 2ft, wind is turning cross-on, making it choppy. The energy drops into the 70s and 50s. Nothing to get excited about.
Then we hit a real flat spell. From Saturday the 1st of August all the way through to Wednesday the 12th of August, the swell drops to 1ft or less. The combined energy is mostly in the 30s and 40s, with a few days as low as 7 or 8. That’s barely a ripple. The break is exposed and consistent, but there’s just no swell to work with. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, so it’s not even clean. On the 6th of August, we get a glassy morning with a 1.0ft, 11-second period swell, but that’s a groundswell with no height – it’s just a waste of a glassy day.
Finally, there’s a small flicker of hope on Saturday the 8th of August. We get a fresh offshore breeze from the WSW, 19 mph, with a 2ft, 8-second swell from the W. The combined energy nudges up to 68 and the wave comment is “clean.” That’s the best we’ve seen in a while.
Sunday the 9th of August is actually the standout. The combined energy hits 115 (moderate) for the morning, with a 3ft swell from the WNW, 8-second period, and a fresh cross-off wind. The wave comment is still “poor surf conditions,” but the energy is the highest in the whole forecast. For a spot that’s been dead, this is the most life we’ll see. If you’re going to paddle out, this is the time.
The rest of the second week fades back into weak, small swell with cross-off or offshore winds, but the energy is back in the double digits. It’s clean, but it’s tiny.
So, bottom line: don’t hold your breath for the first two weeks. The standout is Sunday the 9th of August – that’s your best bet, but even then, keep expectations low. It’s a lean period for Pors Ar Ville.
Rusty.
