The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for Pors Ar Ville.
The first real chance doesn’t come until Wednesday the 2nd of September, and even then, it’s a slow start. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the west, but with a short 7-second period, it’s not got much grunt. The water’s about 65°, which is average for the time of year. The wind is offshore and fresh, keeping it clean, but the surf quality is poor. The combined energy is weak at 147, so it’s a tough one to get excited about.
Thursday the 3rd is a bit better. The swell holds at 4ft from the west, with the period stretching to 8 seconds. Morning offshore winds from the southwest at 12 mph keep it clean, and the energy is still modest at 181. It’s surfable, but ordinary.
Friday the 4th sees the swell bump to 5ft from the west-northwest, with an 8-second period. The wind is cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but the quality is still poor. Energy jumps to 318. By the afternoon, the swell hits 6ft with a 9-second period and energy at 463, but the cross-shore wind and slight chop make it marginal.
Saturday the 5th is the first real standout. The morning brings a clean 5ft swell from the west-northwest, with a long 12-second period – that’s proper groundswell. Combined energy is strong at 604. The wind is onshore from the north-northeast at 6 mph, which is light, but it’s not ideal. The afternoon drops off with onshore winds picking up to 12 mph, so the morning is your window.
Sunday the 6th is a drop-off. Swell drops to 3ft, and the energy falls to 107. Not much to work with.
Monday the 7th brings back some hope. The swell is 5ft from the west-northwest, with a 12-second period and strong energy at 706. The wind is cross-offshore, so it’s clean. The afternoon swell picks up to 6ft with an 11-second period and energy at 843. It’s marginal, but it’s the best we’ve seen.
Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th hold similar conditions – 6ft swell, with periods around 10 seconds, and cross-offshore winds. Energy stays in the 500-700 range. It’s consistent but not exceptional.
From Thursday the 10th onwards, it’s a long, quiet spell. Swell drops below 3ft, energy falls under 100, and it stays poor until around Monday the 14th.
Monday the 14th offers a late rally. The swell picks up to 5ft from the west-northwest, with a 12-second period and energy at 550. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it’s clean. It’s a marginal call, but it’s the best late option.
After that, it fades again. The 16th and 17th of September see tiny waves and glassy conditions, but nothing surfable.
So, overall, the best bet is the morning of Saturday the 5th for that long-period groundswell, or Monday the 7th for the biggest swell. It’s not a classic run, but there are a few windows if you’re keen.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
