The Lowdown
Alright, let's get this straight right off the bat. It’s a tough stretch ahead here at Pors Ar Ville. We’ve got a 16-day window, and to be brutally honest, the first week is a write-off. Combining the early weak swell with strong, messy winds just leaves us with nothing but choppy, blown-out junk. You’ll be waiting a full six days after the start before there’s even a whisper of something worth paddling out for.
That first real glimmer shows up on Friday the 28th of August. You get a sudden jump in wave energy, hitting a moderate 701, with chest-to-head high swell at 6ft from the west. The problem is a strong breeze is howling, so while the size is there, it’s going to be a battle against the wind. It’s borderline, but the energy is raw.
If you want the cleanest windows, you have to wait. The real standout, the one to circle on the calendar, is the afternoon of Friday the 4th of September. We finally get a decent groundswell pushing 5ft from the WNW, with moderate wave energy of 307. Better yet, we get offshore wind from the southwest swinging in. That combo means clean, peeling lines. For a break that’s exposed to the WNW swell, this is your best chance for a proper session. Keep in mind this is over a week out, so it’s a promising look, not a dead cert, but it’s the only real highlight in the pack.
Before that, the morning of Sunday the 30th of August is okay. You get 4ft waves and offshore wind, but the period is short and the energy is low at 157. It’s surfable, but it feels like a consolation prize. The rest of the time, we’re mostly looking at small, weak swell and onshore cross-winds.
It’s a frustrating run. But with a spot that’s this consistent, things rarely stay this quiet for long.
