The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer for Pors Ar Ville.
Truth is, this 16-day stretch starts off dead quiet, and it stays that way for a while. Nothing worth waxing up for until the swell finally shows up, but even then it’s mostly sloppy and onshore. Not a classic run, but sometimes you just have to take what you get.
The first wave worth mentioning comes Wednesday the 5th of August. Wednesday morning brings 5ft from the west, with a short 8-second period, and cross-offshore wind from the west at 15 mph. Combined energy is moderate at 294, but the quality is still questionable. Wednesday afternoon picks up to 6ft from the WNW, cross-offshore wind from the WNW at 15 mph, and combined energy hits 394—still short period at 8 seconds. Water temp is 65°, about average for the time of year.
Thursday the 6th drops back with 4ft and a 7-second period, but cross-shore wind from the NW at 9 mph chops it up. After that, it’s back to tiny, poor surf through the weekend.
The one true standout lands on Sunday the 9th of August, morning session. That’s your best shot. We’ve got 4ft from the WNW, 8-second period, and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the WNW at 9 mph. Combined energy is a solid 219, and the forecast actually says “expect good surf conditions.” The break is a beach and reef setup, exposed to west-northwest swell, right in its sweet spot. It’s an advanced wave, and crowds are possible—this spot can get busy. This is the cleanest, most rideable window in an otherwise quiet stretch.
After that, it’s back to onshore winds and small surf for the second week. By Saturday the 15th, there’s 4ft with a 10-second period in the afternoon, but onshore wind at 18 mph kills it. Combined energy is strong at 314, but the quality isn’t there for paddle surfing. With that much wind and the setup, it looks more interesting for kite surfing.
So, to wrap it up: if you’re chasing a wave, get out there the morning of Sunday the 9th of August. That’s the only real highlight. The rest is a grind. Things can always turn around, but right now, it’s a tough call.
Rusty.
