The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's your mate Rusty here with the long-range outlook for Pors Ar Ville. We've got a bit of a slow start, but some serious energy is brewing for the second week, so let's get into it.
We’re looking at a quiet spell right now. The first few days are a write-off – tiny waves and messy wind all the way through the end of August. You’ll be waiting until the 30th for anything worth paddling out for, and even then it’s just marginal. There’s a decent gap there with no real recommendations.
Thursday the 29th of August sees a pulse of energy, but the waves are under 3 feet and the wind is messy. Not good.
Things start to get interesting on Saturday the 30th of August. We’ve got a solid 4.3ft from the WNW with fresh offshore wind early. The combined energy hits 698 (moderate), but it’s still only a 2 out of 10 for quality. It’s a bit of a tease.
Sunday the 31st of August is where we start to see the real buildup. The swell is 6.2ft from the WNW with a solid 10-second period. The wind is cross-off and clean. This is a proper swell, but the forecast suggests it might be a bit on the big side for the average punter – maybe not the cleanest. Still, it’s the first real standout.
Now, the real standout is a bit further out. Mark your calendars for Monday the 7th of September. The models are starting to get confident about a big, solid groundswell. We’re looking at a 6.6ft to 7.5ft swell from the WNW with a long 11-second period. The wind in the morning is a gentle offshore from the SW. The combined energy is massive at 925 (very strong) in the morning, and 1174 (very strong) in the afternoon. This is one for the experienced crew only – anything over 8ft is getting serious. The long period is a bonus for a spot like this, giving it real shape and power. It’s going to be heaving, and if you’re confident in the water, this is the best on offer across the entire 16 days. But again, it’s two weeks out, so don’t book the time off just yet.
After that, the surf drops off again. The swell stays around 5.2ft on the 8th, but the wind turns cross and onshore, spoiling the quality.
In a nutshell: there’s a lot of waiting through flat days and small chop, but that big pulse on the 7th of September is the one to keep an eye on. It’s the standout, but it’s for experts only.
