The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about Pors Ar Ville in feet and degrees.
The first few days are pretty flat out. Nothing worth paddling for until Tuesday the 1st of September morning. That morning brings a clean 4.3ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period, light cross-off wind, and the combined energy is a moderate 254. Water temp is 65°, pretty normal for the season. It’s rideable, but not a standout.
Then we hit a real quiet stretch. From Tuesday afternoon through Sunday the 6th, it’s mostly onshore, choppy, and weak – energy levels drop into the low double digits. A real bummer.
Now, mark your calendar for Monday the 7th of September morning. That’s the first big highlight. We’ve got a 5.2ft groundswell from the WNW with a long 12-second period. The combined energy jumps to a strong 717. The wind is light cross-shore, keeping it clean. That’s a proper swell, but over 4.9ft it’s gonna be more for the experienced crew. The break is a beach-and-reef setup, so that long period should produce some nice lines. Crowds are "sometimes" an issue, so you might have company.
Tuesday the 8th morning is a solid follow-up: 4.3ft, clean, light cross-off wind, and moderate energy at 249. A good session, but not as powerful as Monday.
Things drop off again for a while – smaller swells, more wind.
Then, way out on Monday the 14th of September morning, we get another interesting one: a 4.3ft groundswell from the WNW with a very long 13-second period. Energy is strong at 504. The wind is light cross-onshore, which is a shame, but that period is so long it’ll still draw well at this reef-and-river spot.
The real gem comes on Tuesday the 15th of September morning. Glassy conditions, barely a breath of wind, with a 3.6ft WNW groundswell at 11 seconds and moderate energy of 297. That’s as clean as it gets. This is the other standout for the whole outlook.
So, to sum it up: Monday the 7th for power, and Tuesday the 15th for that perfect, glassy morning. Everything else is a bit of a wait.
Stay salty.
