Pors Ar Ville Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Pors Ar Ville over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, it's a bit of a slow start. The first few days are looking pretty flat and uninspiring, with weak little windswells and messy conditions. We're talking about small stuff, mostly below 3 ft, and the combined energy is weak, sitting around 68 all the way down to 24. There's simply nothing to get excited about for the first few days, so save your wax.

Things start to perk up a little on Friday the 28th. The morning sees a small pulse of 4 ft swell from the west, with a light offshore breeze, and the energy ticks up to moderate at 185. It's surfable, but still very ordinary. The afternoon gets bigger, up to 6 ft, but the wind swings around and puts a chop on it, so it's a write-off.

The whole weekend and into the start of the following week is a bit of a mixed bag. We've got some size, with waves around 4 ft to 6 ft, and mostly clean conditions thanks to offshore or cross-offshore winds. But the energy is moderate at best, and the quality never really comes together. The strongest winds make it a bit of a battle, especially on the 30th and 31st with fresh breezes. It's not terrible, but it's not great either.

Now, let's talk about the real standout. The forecast is pointing to the period around the 5th of September and into the 6th as the best bet. On Saturday the 5th, the swell builds to 7 ft in the morning, but the wind is onshore, so that's a no-go. The afternoon, however, is where it gets interesting. We're looking at a solid 8 ft swell from the WNW, with a moderate offshore breeze and a clean surface. The energy is strong at 1170, and the period is a solid 10 seconds.

But the real magic looks like it's lining up for Sunday the 6th of September. The morning session is the pick of the entire forecast. We've got a 7 ft groundswell from the WNW, with a period of 11 seconds, pushing a lot of energy (909). The wind is a gentle offshore breeze from the south, which will keep the waves clean. This is the time to be on it. The afternoon holds up well too, though it's a touch smaller.

Just a heads up, the water temperature is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The week after that looks like it could be a bit of a beast. On Monday the 7th of September, the afternoon sees a massive 15 ft long-period swell from the WNW with a period of 18 seconds. The energy is off the charts at 14240. This is a serious, groundswell of consequence. The wind is a strong cross-shore, but the waves will be clean. This is for experts only, and it's a long way out, so keep an eye on it. The next day, Tuesday the 8th, the swell drops to a still significant 10 ft in the morning, but the wind is light and offshore, making for some excellent, clean conditions. The afternoon is even better with a 8 ft swell and a 12-second period, moderate offshore wind, and excellent conditions for experienced surfers. This is a promising run of days, but it's a long way out, so don't book the trip just yet.

Rusty.
