The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's showing on the horizon for us.
First off, the water temp at Pors Ar Ville is bang on average for this time of year at about 65°, so nothing out of the ordinary there. Now, the outlook... I gotta be straight with you, it's a pretty quiet run ahead. We're looking at a solid stretch of days where the surf just isn't on. Paddling out Wednesday afternoon the 5th will be a chore with a short period 5ft swell from the WNW and a cross-off wind keeping things messy, but that's about the only wave worth mentioning for over a week after that. The energy level is around 263 (moderate), but it's not clean enough to get excited about.
From Thursday the 6th right through to the morning of Wednesday the 13th, it's a flat spell with hardly any swell. It's going to be a frustrating time, with the waves mostly too small and chopped up. However, there's a glimmer later. On the morning of Thursday the 13th of August, the swell picks up to 3ft from the WNW with a clean cross-off breeze. The energy jumps to 125 (moderate). It's still small but cleaner. That Thursday afternoon actually shows a bit more size at 4ft from the same direction, and the energy reading hits 248 (moderate), but it's rated as marginal for good tide.
As we head into the second week, Friday the 14th looks similar with 4ft in the morning under clean cross-off winds (energy 208), but the afternoon gets a chop. The real standout, and I mean the only one worth circling on the calendar, is Sunday the 16th of August. The afternoon session pushes up to a genuine 6ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds and clean cross-off winds. The combined energy is 327 (moderate), and that's the biggest and cleanest swell of the whole 16-day window. It's manageable for experienced surfers and pushing into the size where beginners might find it a bit much. Monday the 17th also has some shape with offshore winds in the afternoon and a 4ft WNW swell, but it's not as clean as Sunday.
Overall, the first week is mostly a write-off. The only real chance for a good surf is Sunday the 16th of August. Lock it in if you can, because everything else is flat or messy.
Rusty.
