The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Looking at this 16-day stretch for Pors Ar Ville, and I’ve got to be straight with you: it’s a long, dry spell for most of it. The surf is tiny and the wind is mostly junk. We’re looking at a blank run for well over a week before anything even starts to look like it’s worth paddling out for.
The water temp is sitting at 65°F with the anomaly at 0.5°F, so it’s about average for this time of year—nothing wild there.
Let’s walk through it. The first week is basically a write-off. From Friday the 7th right through to the 17th, the swell is mostly under 3ft, with weak energy readings in the 20s and 30s. The wind is all over the place, mostly onshore or cross-shore, so it’s messy. There’s a morning on the 12th with a clean cross-off breeze, but the swell is only 2ft with 83 energy. It’s not going to get you out of bed. Even the 13th afternoon shows a slight pulse to 3ft and 12 seconds, but the energy is still only 265, and the wind is cross-shore. Forget it.
The gap with no real options stretches all the way from the 7th to the 17th. That’s ten days of nothing. The 17th afternoon bumps up to 5ft but the period drops to 7 seconds and the wind goes cross-shore. Not good.
Now, the one bright spot in the whole window. Tuesday morning, the 18th of August. The wind goes glassy with a slight air, and the swell is a clean 4ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The energy reading hits 201, which is a solid moderate push. This is your standout. The waves will be clean and lined up on this beach and reef setup. It’s a beach and reef break that’s exposed to the WNW, and this is the only time in the forecast we get that glassy window with some size. It’s not huge, but it’s rideable and it’ll be smooth. This is the one to circle.
The 19th has a bit more size, 6ft, but the period drops and it’s onshore, so it’s messy. The 20th is bigger again at 6ft but with a strong cross-onshore wind and energy in the 500s, it’s going to be a washing machine. Not worth it.
The very end of the window, the 21st and 22nd, gets interesting in terms of size. The 22nd shows 7ft with a 9-second period and cross-off winds, energy reading in the 600s. But it’s flagged as marginal. It could be fun for the advanced crew, but with that much power and the period still short, it might just be a closeout on this beach. Keep an eye on it but don’t book the day off.
So, honestly, if you want to get wet, the 18th morning is the only real show in town. Everything else is a skunk. The setup might even look better for kitesurfing than surfing on some of those bigger, windier days. It’s been a dry run, but these things never stay flat forever. Forecasts change, so keep watching.
Rusty out.
