The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch to feet and Fahrenheit for you imperial heads.
Rusty here. Let’s talk Pors Ar Ville.
The water is sitting at about 65°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for the tail end of summer. A nice bonus.
The first real surfable day doesn’t show up until Friday morning, the 11th of September. You’re looking at a clean 5ft from the WNW with a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate (340 in the metric book), and a light cross-offshore breeze keeps the surface tidy. The afternoon gets a bit choppy.
Saturday the 12th? Leave it. It’s small and messy.
Sunday the 13th is the real start of the run. Clean conditions with 5ft WNW swell, period stretching to 10 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The energy is solid (483). Light to gentle cross-offshore winds all day. This is clean, lined-up surf and it matches the break’s best direction. Be aware, crowds are possible here.
Monday the 14th is glassy but tiny – only 3ft. Not enough to get out for.
The big standout is Wednesday afternoon, the 16th of September. The swell bumps back up to 6ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, and the energy jumps to a strong 529. It’s clean with that light cross-offshore breeze. If you’ve got one session to pick, this is it.
Thursday the 17th holds in the 5ft to 6ft range, still clean, but the energy backs off a touch.
From Friday the 18th onward, it’s a grind. Winds turn onshore or cross-onshore and the waves get lumpy. There’s a spike on September 23rd – 6ft with a 14-second period and massive energy (990) – but with a strong onshore wind, it’s going to be a blown-out wall. That long period will also make the beach-and-reef setup pretty shifty and closey.
Honestly, if you’re chasing it, Sunday the 13th is a good call, but Wednesday the 16th afternoon is the real window. After that, the forecast gets grim.
Rusty.
