The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the stretch ahead for Pors Ar Ville. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for any decent paddle. There’s a big blank for most of it, so don’t get your hopes up.
We start on Sunday the 26th of July with some waves, but it's not pretty. We’ve got a 5ft to 6ft WNW swell rolling in, but the wind is a messy cross-off at 19 to 19 mph. The combined swell energy is moderate (229 to 347), but it’s all blown out and labelled as poor surf. Not worth suiting up.
Monday the 27th sees the swell hang around 5ft to 5ft from the WNW, but the wind goes cross-shore and the water gets a slight chop. Combined energy is moderate (342 to 362), but it’s still marginal at best with questionable tide conditions. You’d be fighting it.
From Tuesday the 28th right through to Sunday the 10th of August, it’s a long, quiet gap. The swell drops right off, mostly under 3ft, and while we get a few glassy moments on Friday the 31st of July morning with 3ft, the energy is weak (75). The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is about average for the time of year. There’s just nothing doing here – the scores are all zeros. This spot rarely sees consistent swell, and this is one of those blank runs that’s more normal for the area. It tends not to stay poor forever, but for this window, I’d leave the board at home.
Even into early August, we see a little pulse pop up on Tuesday the 4th of August afternoon (4ft, 121 energy) and Wednesday the 5th of August morning (5ft, 257 energy), but the wind is hammering at 22 mph and the quality is still poor. If you’re a kite surfer, that clean cross-off on a 5ft day might look fun, but for a paddle surfer, it's a no-go. The swell period is short (6-7 seconds), so the waves are weak and mushy anyway.
I can’t point you to a standout session here, folks. The whole 16-day forecast is a bust. Keep an eye on it, forecasts change, but for now, don’t bother.
Rusty.
