The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Pors Ar Ville has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – this is a tough run. The whole 16-day window looks pretty bleak for decent waves.
We start on Tuesday the 28th of July with no real surf to speak of. The swell is a tiny 3 ft from the WNW with a short, weak period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a low 161 (moderate). To make matters worse, the wind is a cross-onshore, so it’s messy. That sets the tone for the next week and a half. Day after day, the swell stays small, mostly under 3 ft, the period is short, and the winds are rarely your friend. There’s a long gap here with no recommendations at all – just poor conditions right through until the end of the first week of August.
Even when the wind swings offshore or cross-offshore around the 5th and 6th of August, the swell is practically flat, dropping to just 0.6 ft to 0.9 ft. The wave energy is barely registering (20-26 combined energy), so you’d be bobbing around on nothing. The water temperature is about average for the time of year at around 65 °F, so at least you won’t freeze while you’re waiting.
Now, if there is one glimmer of hope in this very flat outlook, it’s Wednesday the 12th of August. That morning, we finally see a proper pulse of swell. The height jumps to 5 ft from the west, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 360 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WNW, which should keep things reasonably clean. This is definitely the best on offer for the whole period, but it’s a long way out, so treat it as promising but not a lock. The afternoon pushes to 6 ft and stays clean with a cross-offshore breeze, though the swell period stays short at 8 seconds. It’s an advanced break here, so that size is solid for experienced surfers, but the short period means it might not have that long, drawn-out wall you’d hope for.
Overall, it’s a quiet spell. The setup here is a beach and reef, and with the lack of quality swell and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds for much of the run, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. Keep an eye on that Wednesday the 12th, but don’t hold your breath for anything magical before that.
Rusty.
