The Lowdown
Alright, what’s the call for Pors Ar Ville? It’s a lean spell, plain and simple. The first week and a half are flat or nearly flat. The small swells that do come through are messed up by side-onshore winds or are just too small to do anything with. There’s a real dry patch with next to nothing recommended for a long stretch.
Wave heights stay under 3 feet for the first 10 days or so, with energy that’s barely there. The wind is just not your friend – it’s a lot of cross-onshore, making even the tiny waves choppy. You’d be better off staying on the sand.
Then, come Sunday 9 August, there’s a bump to 4 feet from the NW in the morning. The energy climbs, but the wind is still onshore, so it’s not as clean as you’d want. It could be messy.
But the real highlight – and I say this with some hope – is Thursday 13 August morning. You get a 4ft swell from the NNE paired with a 20 mph cross-offshore breeze from the WNW. That means clean waves with the wind blowing off the face. The combined energy sits at 164, which is solid for this spot. Sure, the swell period is short at 7 seconds, so it won’t have that long, drawn-out power, but the clean conditions make it the clear winner of the whole 16-day window. Friday 14 August is also clean, but the swell is already fading.
If you’re the type to get out when it’s small and clean, that Thursday morning session is your only real shot. Just be aware this break isn’t for beginners – it’s advanced – and it can see a crowd sometimes.
Mostly, the outlook is quiet and lacking, but forecasts change, and at least that one morning is worth grabbing.
