The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've got to be straight with you – this 16-day window at Pors Ar Ville is a frustrating watch. We’ve got a lot of time where the conditions just don’t come together for a proper paddle session. The first real chance of anything decent doesn't show up until Sunday the 30th, and even then, it’s a bit of a tease.
We kick things off on Saturday the 29th with a tiny 1ft NW swell and a howling 25 mph offshore wind. The water’s 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small consolation when the surf is that weak. The energy is barely a whisper at 16, and it’s just too hard to get into anything.
The first glimmer of hope comes Sunday morning the 30th. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the WNW with a moderate 16 mph offshore breeze, making for clean conditions. The energy picks up to a moderate 290, and it’s labelled as "expect good surf conditions." This is probably the best bet for the whole outlook – clean lines and a manageable size.
Sunday afternoon and Monday the 31st see the swell building to 5ft and 7ft, but the wind swings cross-offshore and gets stronger, making it harder to get a good wave face. Monday morning shows a 7ft WNW swell with moderate wave energy at 923, but it's cross-offshore and the forecast is marginal. It’s not bad, but it’s not the standout.
Then we hit a lull. Tuesday the 1st of September drops right back down, and from there it's a long stretch of poor to marginal conditions until Saturday the 5th of September. That's nearly a full week of nothing worth jumping out of bed for. The surf is small, the wind is messy, and the energy is weak.
Finally, on Saturday morning the 5th of September, we get another chance. The swell comes back up to 5ft from the WNW, and the wind drops to a slight 3 mph offshore. This is our other real standout. The conditions are clean, the energy is moderate at 407, and it’s labelled as "expect good surf conditions." A rare moment of calm.
After that, the outlook falls apart again. The swell hangs around for a bit but the wind gets cross and onshore, ruining the shape. By the time we get to the second week, it’s all small, weak swells and poor wind. We see a couple of 2ft and 3ft days, but the wind is just too fresh or cross-shore to make anything of them. The second Saturday and Sunday look like a write-off.
The best of the best? Lock in Sunday morning the 30th of August for the cleanest, most consistent fun, and keep an eye on Saturday morning the 5th of September for that rare glassy window. Everything else is a gamble you’ll probably lose.
Rusty.
