The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wetsuit, let’s talk surf for Pors Ar Ville. The sweet spot is a beach and reef setup here that needs the right windows, and we’ve got a few. The opening Tuesday morning is where you want to be – it’s the best on offer by a long shot. After that, it’s a waiting game.
Tuesday 1st September morning is the standout. We’ve got clean conditions with a light offshore breeze from the SW, light enough that it’s practically glassy. That WNW swell is coming in at a solid 4ft with a period of 9 seconds, giving us moderate wave energy (254). The wind is light and offshore, so expect clean, peelable lines off that reef. Crowds are possible here, but with these conditions, it’ll be worth it. The water temp anomaly is about average for this time of year, so don’t expect any surprises there.
That Tuesday afternoon sees a shift – the wind turns NW and picks up, creating cross-shore chop, and the swell drops to 3ft. Not worth it.
Wednesday 2nd September morning stays clean with an offshore breeze, but the swell has dropped right back to 2ft with weak energy (67). Too small to get excited about. The afternoon has a bit more size at 3ft but the wind is strong cross-offshore and bumpy.
Thursday 3rd September morning brings some hope – offshore wind again, swell up to 4ft from the W, with moderate energy (153). The conditions are clean, but the wave comment says it’s only surfable, nothing special. The afternoon is a write-off with a cross-offshore wind.
Friday 4th September has a marginal look. The morning swell is 4ft, WNW, clean but with a cross-offshore breeze. The afternoon improves slightly to 5ft with more energy (361), but it’s still tagged as marginal. If you’re desperate, you might find a few, but don’t expect quality.
Then we hit a long, dry spell. From Saturday 5th September right through to the middle of the third week, it’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds, or the swell just disappears. There are a few brief moments, like Wednesday 9th September morning with a 6ft WSW swell and offshore wind (385 energy), but the wave comment calls it marginal due to questionable tide conditions. The wind is also a fresh 19 mph, making it tricky.
Thursday 10th September has similar size – 6ft and 5ft – but the wind is a strong 25 mph cross-offshore, making for lumpy, blown-out conditions. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
After that, the swell fades out again until the end of the period, with tiny waves and no real windows. So, your best bet is to hit it hard on that first Tuesday morning, September 1st. Don’t sleep on it.
