The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Right, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Pors Ar Ville over the next couple of weeks. I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a pretty bleak stretch. The window kicks off Wednesday the 2nd of September and for the first five days or so, it’s a real struggle to find anything worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly either offshore or cross-off, which normally sounds good, but the wave energy just isn’t there to back it up.
The water’s sitting at about 65°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no need to worry about a chill.
We’ve got a couple of brief windows where things perk up. The first real glimmer comes early Monday the 7th of September. The morning session is the pick of the first week. We’ve got a long-period groundswell rolling in, 4ft from the WNW with a 14-second period, and the wind is a gentle cross-off from the WNW. That’s going to produce clean, well-shaped lines with some proper energy behind them (combined energy of 477). Pors Ar Ville is a beach and reef setup, so that long period swell might be a touch straight for the beach section, but the reef could line it up nicely. It’s an advanced wave, and with winds like that, you’ll want to be on it early before the afternoon clouds and a bit of a dip in quality.
The other stand-out is way down the track, on Monday the 14th of September. I’m talkin’ a long-range call here, so don’t lock it in just yet. For the morning, the forecast shows a glassy calm, zero wind, and a 4ft, 10-second swell from the NW. That’s as clean as it gets. Combined energy (237) is moderate, so it’s not a blaster, but for a wave that’s usually a struggle, a completely glassy 4ft groundswell is a proper treat. It’ll be small, clean, and fun.
Other than those two windows, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The swell drops right away after the 7th, and we have several days where the height is below 3ft and the energy is weak. The onshore winds kick in from the NE a fair bit late in the second week, which just trashes whatever is left. There’s a period from the 15th into the 16th where the wave heights drop to 0.7ft - 1ft – it’s basically a lake out there.
So, keep your eyes peeled for Monday the 7th of September morning – that’s your best bet in the near-term. And keep a mental note on that glassy Monday the 14th of September for later down the line. It’s not a classic run, but when it cleans up, Pors Ar Ville can still give you a moment.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
