Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pors Ar Ville over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get into it. I’m Rusty, and this is the outlook for your local stretch.
Right now, I gotta be straight with you – it’s pretty disappointing. The next several days are a write-off. We’ve got nothing worth paddling out for until the morning of Saturday the 18th of July. That’s over a week of flat, onshore junk, so don’t even bother checking the beach till then.
The first proper glimpse of surf kicks off on Saturday the 18th. It’s not perfect, but it’s something. The swell builds to 6ft out of the WNW, with a short period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps up to a solid moderate 497, so there’s some juice. Winds are cross-offshore from the WNW early, which will keep things clean. This is a beach and reef setup at Pors Ar Ville, so with the swell size over 5ft, it’s getting into the advanced-only zone. The afternoon gets a bit choppier as the wind swings cross-shore.
Then, Sunday the 19th of July morning looks like the best of this first pulse. The swell drops to a more comfortable 5ft from the NW, still short period at 7 seconds. Winds are light and cross-off from the WNW, giving us clean conditions. The combined energy is 278 – moderate. This is the standout window. It’s consistent here, but watch for crowds, as they can show up sometimes. The swell direction (NW) is right in the pocket of what this spot loves (WNW optimum), so the lines should set up well for a morning session.
Monday the 20th gets messy again with onshore winds, and the swell pushes back up to 5ft, but the quality tanks.
Looking further out, there’s another promising window on Friday the 24th of July. The morning glass-off is a thing of beauty – almost no wind (just a slight air from the WNW), clean, and a 3ft groundswell from the WNW with a 9-second period. The combined energy is 213, moderate. This is a smaller, cleaner option for those who want a fun, uncrowded surf if the crowds don’t show. The period is long enough to hold the shape on a reef and beach setup.
The following Saturday the 25th of July morning offers another clean, light-wind session with 3ft WNW swell at a 10-second period, but it’s only rated as ordinary conditions – surfable but not a standout.
Overall, the best bet is the Sunday the 19th of July early morning. Second pick would be the glassy Friday the 24th of July morning. For the love of it, don’t go near the water before the 18th.
Stay stoked, Rusty.
