The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for this spot.
Well, it's a bit of a slow start, to be honest. We're looking at a real flat spell kicking things off here. From now through the 24th of July, there's hardly a ripple worth paddling for. You'll see a few tiny bits of energy, but with onshore winds and weak swell, it's pretty much a write-off for the first ten days or so. Just one of those quiet runs.
Moving into the last week of July, things start to wake up. The first real sign of life shows on the morning of the 25th for Pors Ar Ville, a beach and reef setup geared towards advanced surfers. The swell direction is WNW, locking in with the optimum, and we're seeing a nice clean 3 ft of swell. The catch? This place is consistent but it can get crowded sometimes. That morning, though, you've got a gentle cross-offshore breeze, making for clean, workable waves. The combined energy is a solid 256 – moderate, but a big step up from what we've had. The 25th afternoon is a little smaller at 3 ft but the energy is still decent at 202. This is the standout day of the whole window.
From the 26th onwards, the swell really builds, with heights creeping over 5 ft. By the 27th, we're looking at 6 ft in the morning and 6 ft in the afternoon, with combined energy jumping into the 400s and 500s – that's strong wave energy. This is getting into expert territory for sure, and the direction stays locked in from the WNW. The wind becomes a factor, mostly cross-offshore through the 26th and then turning fully offshore on the 28th and 29th.
The 29th of July is the other one to circle. Wednesday morning shows a solid 6 ft of WNW swell with a 9-second period, and a moderate offshore wind from the SW. The combined energy is pumping at 518, and the forecast calls for very good surf conditions. It's big, it's clean, and it's got the right wind. Pors Ar Ville will be firing, but this is not a beginner wave; if it's over 8 ft we'd say stick to watching, but 6 ft is manageable for those with the skills.
So, the pick of the bunch? No question. The morning of the 25th gets the nod for the first real taste of clean, rideable surf, and the 29th for the biggest, cleanest swell of the forecast. Get on it.
Rusty.
