The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's chew the fat on Pors Ar Ville.
First off, it's a slow start. The first week is pretty much a bust, with barely any swell and some nasty cross-onshore winds ruining the vibe. From the 24th right through to the 28th of August, you're looking at tiny, gutless waves. Even when the wind lays down, the swell’s just too small to ride. Gonna have to be patient.
Things finally perk up on Saturday the 29th of August. A sudden pulse of swell hits, a messy 7ft out of the WNW. The energy jumps up but the period is a short 8 seconds, so it'll be lumpy and sectiony. The wind's clean though, so it won't be totally blown out. It's still marginal, but it's the first real sign of life.
We get a bit of a lull after that, but the real action is the weekend of the 5th and 6th of September. Saturday the 5th brings a solid 5ft to 5ft of WNW swell. The morning is clean with a nice offshore breeze and moderate energy (221). The period is still short at 8 seconds, so a bit choppy, but ridable. The standout is Sunday the 6th of September. That morning you’ve got a solid 7ft from the WNW (805), and the period bumps up to 9 seconds, so you'll feel more push. By the afternoon, it’s 7ft (913) with a glassy cross-shore breeze. That afternoon on the 6th is the best window in the whole 16-day forecast.
Just remember, Pors Ar Ville is an advanced spot. When that swell pushes over 8ft, it’s for experts only. That big pulse on the 8th of September – a massive 10ft from the WNW with a very long 15-second period and nasty energy (3570) – that’s heavy, serious stuff.
So, the first week is a wash. The best bet is the afternoon of Sunday the 6th of September. Mark it, but check back as we get closer.
Rusty.
