The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Pors Ar Ville.
To be straight with you, this is a tough run. There’s a real dry spell at the start. From now through the weekend and into the early part of next week, the surf is poor. We’ve got small, weak swell with a lot of cross-onshore or messy wind, so don’t bother paddling out. The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal at 66°, but that’s the only good news for a while.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday morning, the 25th of August. That’s a week and a half away, so keep it in the back of your mind. The swell is clean with a light offshore breeze out of the WSW, and we’re looking at 5 ft from the WNW. The wave energy is moderate at 301. It’s not huge, but clean surf at Pors Ar Ville is worth getting out of bed for. The break is a beach and reef setup, and with the wind being light and cross-off, it should shape up nicely for advanced surfers. Crowds can show up here sometimes, but on a Tuesday morning you might have a bit of room.
Following that, Wednesday the 26th of August morning has a moderate offshore wind from the SSW, with 4 ft of WNW swell and a long period of 11 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, with moderate energy at 317. This is more of a reef-friendly pulse, and the offshore wind should keep it clean. Again, this is for the advanced crew.
The rest of the second week is mostly small or messy. There are a few cleaner moments, but the swell just isn’t there to back it up. The 24th of August afternoon shows 4 ft from the WNW at 10 seconds with a gentle cross-shore, but the surf quality is still poor. Not much to write home about.
So, if you’re waiting for something good, mark your calendar for the 25th and 26th of August mornings. They’re the only standouts in this entire 16-day window. A long wait, but there’s a bit of quality at the end of it.
