The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Pors Ar Ville has on the cards for the next couple of weeks. I'm not going to sugarcoat it, this stretch is looking pretty tough, so temper your expectations.
We've got a long wait ahead. For the first week and a half, from Tuesday the 4th right through to late on the 14th of August, there's just nothing doing. It’s a write-off. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is all over the shop. You'll be looking at flat, bumpy conditions with no real energy to speak of. It's a solid ten-day gap with absolutely no recommendations.
Things start to get a little more interesting on Saturday the 15th. We see a pulse of WNW swell push in around 5ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is looking much better, coming from the WNW as a cross-offshore breeze, which should clean things up nicely. The wave energy climbs to a moderate 226 to 231. The surf will be marginal, and you’ll need to check the tides, but it's the first real sign of life.
The best of the bunch looks to be on Sunday the 16th of August. The swell drops back just a touch to 4ft from the WNW, still with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the W. The combined energy is a moderate 167. The description calls it "surfable but very ordinary," which is about right for this spell. At 4ft, it's manageable but might be a little punchy for total beginners given the exposed beach and reef setup.
The following days tail off again with dropping swell and less favourable wind. While we see some small pulses later in the period, the outlook is pretty grim for a while. For now, mark your calendar for the 15th and 16th, and hope the forecasts improve, because it tends not to stay this poor for too long.
Stay patient.
