The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the first week is a total write-off. We’re looking at a solid seven days of nothing but tiny, weak dribble. From Saturday the 18th right through to Saturday the 25th, it’s all poor surf conditions with wave heights barely scraping 1 ft to 2 ft. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the combined swell energy is in the weak to very weak range. There’s nothing to get excited about here. You’d be better off waxing your board and staring at it than driving to the beach. The water is sitting at 64°F right now, which is about average for the time of year, so at least a dip in the ocean won’t be a shock to the system.
Now, the second week starts to get interesting. Sunday the 26th is the first moment we see a proper pulse. The swell jumps up to 6 ft from the WNW, with a moderate combined energy of 382. The wind is a fresh offshore from the SW in the morning, which will keep things clean. But that swell size is starting to push into advanced territory, so this isn’t one for the beginners.
The best of the lot, and the one true standout, arrives on Thursday the 30th of July. For the morning, Pors Ar Ville (France) is looking like it could be the session of the trip. The swell is a solid 5 ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a strong 315. The wind is glassy – dead calm, zilch. That’s a major positive, meaning the waves will be clean and smooth. For a beach and reef setup, this is as good as it gets in the forecast. The water is still expected to be temperate enough for a spring suit. This is the one to circle on the calendar, but remember, it’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on the charts.
The following days into August see the swell drop back down and the onshore winds return, so don’t expect a repeat of that Thursday magic. The Sunday morning on the 2nd of August has a bit of waist-high swell, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s a pass.
So for the pick of the litter: head for Pors Ar Ville on the morning of Thursday the 30th of July. It’s the only window where everything lines up. The rest of the time, you’re waiting.
