The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at the upcoming surf for Pors Ar Ville.

The swell window is open, but it's going to be a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. We've got some real energy coming in early in the period, but the local wind is going to be the main player, making or breaking the conditions.

The water temp is sitting at 65°F which is about normal for this time of year, nothing to get excited about.

Right, the first real chance for a session kicks off on Sunday morning, the 30th of August. We've got a 5ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a short 8-second period, so it'll be a bit of a wind-swell bump. However, the wind is a clean offshore (SW) at 12 mph, which will groom that up nicely. The combined swell energy is 290, so a solid moderate push. It's an exposed spot, so it'll be handling that energy. Just a heads up, it's a beach and reef set-up and it's an advanced wave only, so this isn't one for the learners.

Things get more interesting heading into Monday, the 31st of August. The swell bumps up to a clean 7ft from the WNW, with the period stretching out to 10 seconds – that's a much better, more powerful wave. The combined energy jumps right up to 923, so there's some serious weight behind these lines. The wind stays in a comfortable cross-off from the WNW at around 12-16 mph. This is the standout session for the first week. The catch? At 7ft, this is pushing into expert territory, and it's a consistent break that handles the swell direction perfectly from the WNW. Expect some solid, powerful walls. There could be a few others out, as crowds are listed as 'sometimes'.

The Tuesday morning, the 1st of September offers a nice little window. The swell drops back to a manageable 4ft from the WNW, period at 9 seconds, and the wind swings light offshore from the WSW at 6 mph. Combined energy is 222 (moderate). That light offshore breeze will make for a much cleaner, more playful wave, and it should be a bit more user-friendly than Monday's monster.

From there, it gets a bit grim. Wednesday sees the swell drop right out, and the wind turns onshore or cross-shore. The energy levels are low, and the wave quality is poor. We're looking at a dead spell that lasts a few days.

There is a glimmer of hope on Friday, the 4th of September. The swell builds again, hitting 8ft from the WNW late in the afternoon, with a long 12-second period. This is a very long-period groundswell, and the combined energy is a massive 1386 (strong to very strong). This is a standout for size and energy, but the wind is cross-off from the WNW, which should keep the faces reasonably clean. Again, this is big, powerful, and for experts only. It's a promising long-range call, but with that size and period, it could be a handful.

After that, the wind turns cross-on from the north for the weekend of the 5th and 6th, chopping up what swell is left. The energy fades, and the surf quality right through the second week into the middle of September is poor. The swell window stays open with some small pulses of WNW energy, but the wind is all over the shop – cross, cross-on, and even a bit of glassy conditions on Friday the 11th, but there's simply no swell energy to push it (only 70 combined energy). The last week of the forecast sees the wind really on it from the east, with no decent surf to speak of. It's a long dry spell from the 6th right through.

So, to boil it down: your best bets are Monday morning, the 31st of August for a powerful, clean session, and if you can handle the big stuff, the Friday afternoon, the 4th of September is the one for serious power.

Rusty, signing off.
