The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour. Pors Ar Ville is looking pretty flat to start, so don’t get your hopes up. The first real wave doesn’t appear until Sunday the 26th of July. The water temp is 64°, which is about average for the year.
Sunday morning the 26th brings a 4ft swell from the WNW, period 7 seconds, with a cross-offshore wind from the W at 16 mph. The combined energy is moderate (178). It’s clean, but not much to get excited about. By Sunday afternoon, the swell hits 5ft from the WNW, period 8 seconds, and the energy is ramping up (302). Winds are still cross-off from the WNW at 19 mph, keeping it clean. This is the best window in the whole outlook, but the conditions are still rated as poor. It’s an advanced spot, so that 5ft+ swell might be too much for beginners.
Monday the 27th has a 5ft NW swell in the morning, but the wind is cross-onshore from the N at 9 mph, making it choppy. The energy is still solid (316), but the wind is a problem. The rest of the period is a slow fade of small, messy surf. The 1st of August sees a clean morning with offshore wind from the SW at 16 mph, but the swell is only 2ft, so it’s not worth paddling out for.
The only real standout is that Sunday afternoon on the 26th of July. It’s the biggest, cleanest swell in the window. But even then, it’s a poor surf call. This is a tough forecast. If you’re keen, that Sunday afternoon is your best bet, but don’t expect much. The setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing through most of this period.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Pors Ar Ville can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
