The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Pors Ar Ville in feet and degrees. It’s a beach and reef break, and I’ll be honest with you – the next week and a half is mostly a write-off. There’s a big dry spell from now until the end of July, so you’ll be waiting until the 2nd of August before anything gets going.
The water temp is about 65°F, which is normal for the season.
For the first week, it’s tiny, weak, and messy. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th have some small swell around 2ft to 5ft, but the wind is cross-off or cross, and the wave comment is consistently poor. The combined energy is weak, only 31 for that Saturday afternoon, so it’s a real struggle. Monday the 27th has a bit of size at 5ft, but the period is only 9 seconds and it’s cross-shore with a slight chop. Not worth paddling out for. This continues day after day – small, weak, poor conditions. You’ve got a solid run of nothing until the 2nd of August.
Now, Sunday the 2nd of August is where things get interesting. That morning, the swell picks up to 6ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, and the wind is offshore from the WSW. That’s a proper clean window. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 495, and the forecast is calling for good surf. The afternoon sees it bump up to 7ft from the WNW with an 11-second period, and the energy is strong at 1176. That’s a solid swell. The wind is cross-off, but still clean. This is the standout of the whole forecast. For experienced surfers, that Sunday is your call. The swell direction is WNW, which matches the optimum swell direction for this spot perfectly.
Monday the 3rd of August still has some decent leftovers: 4ft in the morning with light cross-off winds and 280 energy. After that, it drops off again.
For the next week, there’s a brief flicker on Thursday the 6th of August with 5ft and 219 energy, and clean conditions in the morning, but it’s nothing special. The rest of the week is back to small, weak, and poor.
Don’t bother with the first week. The only real chance is that Sunday the 2nd of August – it’s not perfect, but it’s the best on offer. Crowds are sometimes a problem here, so keep that in mind.
