The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Looks like we’re in for a bit of a flat spell to kick things off, so don’t be in a rush to grab your board.
For the next several days, the surf is pretty much a no-go. We’ve got tiny, weak swell and onshore winds making a mess of things. You’ll be waiting a good while. The first real sign of life isn’t until Friday the 28th of August, but even then, it’s just a pulse of energy.
The standout window is shaping up to be the weekend of the 29th and 30th of August. Early Saturday morning the 29th, we’ll see a solid 6.2 ft swell from the WNW, with a moderate cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is hitting 512 (strong wave energy), so there’s some real power in the water. That’s a bit on the big side for beginners, but for the advanced crew, Pors Ar Ville could offer some decent rides. The swell direction is WNW, which is spot on for this spot. Sunday the 30th stays active with a clean 3.6 ft to 3.9 ft swell from the SW and W, with light offshore winds, making for some cleaner conditions. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting around 66°.
The rest of the 16-day window into early September looks like a mixed bag. There’s some more energy on the 3rd and 4th of September, with a 4.6 ft WNW swell on the afternoon of the 3rd and a very long-period 13-second swell on the 4th. That long period (over 15 seconds is very long, and 13 seconds is significant) will mean more power and better shape, but it might be a bit straight for a beach break. It’ll be best for the reefs and points. The winds are cross-onshore on the 4th though, so it won’t be perfect. Keep an eye on it, but don’t book the day off just yet.
