The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for Pors Ar Ville.
Right off the bat, the water is sitting at about 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus if you’re suit-less or just in a thin wetsuit.
The overall pattern is a bit of a slow burn. We’ve got some small, choppy, and messy stuff around for the first couple of days, nothing worth paddling out for. Really, we’re waiting until Friday the 11th to see anything half decent. The standout window is actually a bit further out, too.
So, the first half of the week is a write-off. Wednesday the 9th is cross-shore and bumpy, with a combined energy of 439 – moderate but messy. Thursday the 10th cleans up a touch but the swell just isn’t there, dropping to 3ft and 2ft. It’s small and weak.
Now, Friday the 11th is your first real look. The morning session is the pick of the early period. We’ve got a clean 5ft of WNW groundswell with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is light and cross-offshore, making for clean faces and that combined energy is sitting at a nice moderate 363. It’s not huge, but those offshore lines will make the most of it. This is an advanced break, so you’ll want to be on your game.
Saturday the 12th drops back down to knee-to-waist high stuff, around 3ft to 3ft. Clean again, but lacking the power for a real session.
Then we’ve got Sunday the 13th. This is the other solid window. The morning brings a punchy 6ft of swell and a strong combined energy of 581. It’s a moderate cross-offshore breeze, so it won’t be perfect, but there’s enough juice in the water to have some fun. The afternoon drops to 5ft with 410 energy.
After that, it’s a long, frustrating stretch. From Monday the 14th all the way through to the end of the forecast on the 24th, it’s small, weak, and often choppy. There are a few mornings with offshore flow but the swell is pathetic – 2ft, 2ft, even down to 1.0ft by the 23rd. The combined energy drops into the double digits and low hundreds most days. The wind shifts around a lot, and we get a lot of cross-on and onshore slop. There’s a brief flicker on the 18th of September with a 2ft swell and offshore wind, but with a combined energy of just 80, it’s barely a ripple.
Honestly, for the last week and a half, this is more of a kite-surfing setup if the wind gets up enough. For a paddle surfer, it’s going to be one of those blank runs that’s more normal for the area when the angle is so stubbornly WNW and the fetch is limited. The longer period swells we see later on (11 seconds and up) will be breaking straight at the beach, so you’d want to look for the points if there was any size, but there isn’t.
So, to sum it up: the early bird gets the worm on Friday the 11th morning. Sunday the 13th morning gives you the biggest wave of the forecast, but it won’t be as clean. After that, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, it looks flat and frustrating.
Rusty.
