The Lowdown
Alright, it’s yer mate Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with ya – for the next couple of weeks, we’re lookin’ at one of those quiet stretches where the ocean just seems to be takin’ a nap. There’s not a single good surf option in the entire 16-day window for Pors Ar Ville. The finder’s givin’ every single session a big fat zero, and the guidance backs that up, callin’ it a spot for advanced crew only, and even then, it’s inconsistent. That’s just how it goes ‘round here sometimes; it’s not unusual for it to go flat and stay flat for a while. Don’t lose hope, though – forecasts can flip.
Lookin’ at the first week, it’s pretty grim. Sunday the 19th kicks off with a 2ft NE windswell, but with 15.5 mph onshore winds, it’s just a messy, choppy slog. The wave energy is weak, sittin’ at only 20. Water temp’s 64°F, which is bang on average for this time of year – nothin’ to write home about. That pattern just repeats day after day: tiny swells, mostly from the NW or WNW but barely scratchin’ 1ft to 2ft, with onshore or cross-onshore winds from the NE or NNE. It’s all “poor surf conditions,” flat and sloppy.
We get a tiny blip of hope around Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th. The swell picks up a bit to 3.6ft to 3.9ft from the WNW, and the wind shifts to a cleaner cross-offshore from the WNW, with the wave energy climbin’ into moderate territory at 127. But it’s still flagged as poor surf conditions. Maybe a sneaky corner if you’re desperate, but it’s nothin’ to get excited about.
After that, it stays small and choppy through the rest of July and into early August. There’s a moment on Sunday the 2nd of August in the morning – the wind goes glassy, dead calm, with a 2.3ft WNW swell at 9 seconds. The wave energy is low at 80, and it’ll look clean and pretty, but there’s just no power behind it. It’s a paddlin’ session, not a surfin’ session.
So to wrap it up, the entire 16-day window is a write-off for a proper wave. The only faint glimmer is that Sunday the 2nd of August morning if you just want to float around on a glassy surface, but even then, don’t expect to get wet from a wave. The rest is just onshore chop or tiny windswell.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, and remember – it never stays flat forever.
