The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Pors Ar Ville.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a long quiet spell ahead, with only marginal energy showing up late in the window. The water temp is sitting right around 66°F, which is pretty average for this time of year.
For the first week, from Monday the 10th of August right through to Saturday the 22nd of August, it’s a real struggle. Swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 3ft, with wave energy that’s weak to moderate at best. The period is short, under 10 seconds for the most part, so it’s not going to have much push. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making things choppy. Thursday the 13th of August sees a slight lift with a 3ft to 3ft swell from the W-NW, period stretching to 10-11 seconds, and clean cross-offshore breezes. Energy bumps up a little (161-180), but it’s still not going to set the world on fire. It’s the pick of a pretty average bunch, with clean lines, but it’s small.
After that, we drop right back into small, weak surf until a big change arrives on Sunday the 23rd of August. That morning, the swell jumps to 8ft out of the W-NW, with a period of 10 seconds. Wave energy goes through the roof to 1314, which is strong stuff. But here’s the thing – winds are cross-onshore and choppy, making it a messy, tough paddle. This size is for experienced surfers only. The afternoon holds similar size at 8ft (1230 energy), but winds shift to cross-shore, still a bit lumpy.
Monday the 24th of August sees the swell drop back to 4ft in the morning, with clean cross-offshore winds from the NW, making it the most user-friendly day of the whole outlook. Not a standout by any means, but if you’re keen, that morning window is your best bet. Wave energy is a moderate 228.
Overall, Pors Ar Ville is exposed to W-NW swell, which is exactly what we’re seeing. But for most of the run, it’s just too small and windy to get excited about. The big pulse on the 23rd is for the brave. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
