The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what we’ve got for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the start of this outlook is a bit of a bummer. For the first several days, the surf is pretty flat or just messy. From the 10th of August through the 19th, the swell is mostly small and weak, with the wind often onshore or cross-shore and choppy. There’s a long gap there with nothing really worth paddling out for. You’d be wasting your time.
Things start to look a little more interesting around the 20th of August. On Thursday morning the 20th, we’ve got a clean window at Pors Ar Ville, with a gentle offshore wind from the SW and a small 3 ft swell out of the WNW. The energy is moderate (115), and it’ll be clean. It’s small, but it’s the first sign of life.
Then, the standout in this whole period lands on Tuesday morning the 25th of August. That’s the one to circle on your calendar. Pors Ar Ville (beach and reef) sees a solid 5 ft groundswell from the west with a 10-second period and moderate combined swell energy of 450. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WNW, turning the place glassy and clean. This is the best on offer—longer period swell means better shape and more punch. The water temp is 66°, which is about 1° warmer than usual, so pretty average for this time of year—nothing weird there. This is a break for advanced surfers, and it can get crowded sometimes, so don’t expect to have it to yourself. The size is still manageable for most experienced paddlers, not too big. That morning session will be the one.
After that, Tuesday afternoon the 25th drops off again with a cross-shore wind and a 5 ft swell that’s just not as clean. So don’t sleep on the morning.
Overall, there’s a long quiet patch, but that one morning on the 25th is the real highlight. Forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay poor for long around here.
