The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you how it is for Pors Ar Ville over the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a whole lot of nothing in the first week and a half, with the first real glimmer of hope not showing up until the very end.
We start with a long dry spell. From Monday the 20th right through to Thursday the 30th, it’s pretty much flat or tiny, and what little swell there is comes with onshore or cross-onshore breezes. It’s a write-off. The water’s sitting at 64°F right now, which is about average for the time of year, not that you’ll be in it much.
The only day that even sniffs a chance in that first block is Saturday the 26th. Early morning we pick up a bit of bump – 4ft from the WNW – but the period is a short, weak 6 seconds, and the energy is barely registering. It’s clean, with a cross-off wind, but it’s not really surfable in any meaningful way. By the afternoon, it’s a messy cross-shore chop.
Things stay poor through the end of July, but as we roll into the first of August, the wind finally starts to play ball. Saturday the 1st has some clean, cross-off conditions with a 5ft WNW swell in the morning and a drop to 4ft in the afternoon. The energy is solid, but the waves are still a bit jumbled. It’s a marginal day.
The real standout, and I mean the *only* standout in this whole 16-day outlook, is Tuesday the 4th of August. This is the one to circle on the calendar. We get a clean 6ft swell from the WNW early in the morning, with a light breeze and the wind state looking good. The combined energy is strong – a solid, punchy push. The swell direction is dead on the optimum for this spot. This is the best we’re going to see. Be aware that at 6ft, it’s getting a bit big for beginners, and the crowd factor here says *sometimes*, so you might have some company. The afternoon sees it bump a little to 6ft, but it gets a bit more cross-shore and choppy.
For a spot like Pors Ar Ville, which is an exposed beach and reef setup for advanced surfers, a long quiet spell like this is pretty normal. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game. If you’ve got a kite, the windy, choppy days in between might be more your speed. For the rest of us, hold out for that Tuesday morning.
