The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Pors Ar Ville.

Right now, the next week or so is pretty quiet. The water here is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nothing wild, just a bit of a pleasant surprise. But the surf? It’s flat. From Friday 21 August right through to the end of Monday 31 August, there’s hardly a wave worth paddling for. Sure, you’ll see a few bumps here and there, but the swell energy is weak – mostly under 100 (up to 121 at best) – and the conditions are generally poor. There’s a brief moment on Tuesday 25 August morning with a light offshore wind and clean surface, but the swell is only 1 ft from the NW with a period of 11 seconds. That’s not enough to get excited about.

Things start to look a little more promising from Friday 28 August. The swell picks up, with a 7 ft WNW groundswell rolling in, period around 9 seconds, and combined energy jumping to 623 – that’s moderate energy. The wind is offshore out of the SW, and the waves are clean. It’s still a bit marginal with tide issues, but it’s the first real sign of life. The swell holds through Saturday 29 August morning with 7 ft from the west, 9-second period, and energy at 707. The wind is cross-offshore, and the surf is clean. That Saturday morning (29 August) is the standout of the entire outlook. It’s the best size, decent shape, and clean conditions. But keep in mind, this is an advanced-only break – Pors Ar Ville is a beach and reef setup, and with 7 ft swell, it’s not for beginners. Also, crowds can show up sometimes, so be ready for company.

After that, the swell drops back through the end of August and into early September. There’s a gap of a few days with no real recommendations until we get to Wednesday 2 September afternoon, when a 7 ft WNW swell returns with 600 energy, but the wind is cross-shore and lumpy – not great. The real long-range standout is the morning of Thursday 3 September: a 7 ft WNW groundswell with a longer period of 11 seconds, pushing combined energy to 1030 – that’s strong energy. The wind is light and cross-shore, just small ripples, so it’s a bit messy but promising. That’s one to watch, but it’s a week and a half away, so take it with a grain of salt.

So, overall: the first week is a write-off. The best bet is Saturday 29 August morning, with clean 7 ft west swell. Then keep an eye on Thursday 3 September morning for a bigger, longer-period WNW swell, though it’s less certain this far out.

Rusty.
