The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next 16 days.
Right off the bat, it's a bit of a slow start. The first few days are pretty underwhelming, with small swell and meh conditions. The pick of the whole period is definitely the morning of Tuesday the 8th of September. We've got a clean 4ft swell from the WNW, with a nice light cross-offshore breeze keeping things glassy. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is about average for this time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit just yet. The combined energy is moderate at 260, so there's a bit of push behind it. Pors Ar Ville is a beach and reef setup, so it should handle that direction well. After that, the surf drops off again in the afternoon.
Then, on the 9th of September, we get a bit of a pulse. Wednesday morning sees a 7ft WNW swell, with a clean offshore wind. The combined energy jumps right up to 831, which is solid. That's a fair bit of power, so this one is for the more experienced crew. It's a mid-week session, so crowds might be manageable.
After that, it's back to a long stretch of poor conditions. Windy, onshore, messy. For the rest of the outlook, it's pretty much a write-off. There's no real standout for the second week, with small, wind-affected waves and a lot of onshore chop. The 15th of September has a bit of a longer period (12 seconds) but the wind is straight onshore, so it's not going to be pretty.
So, to sum it up: your best bet is that Tuesday morning, the 8th of September. The 9th of September is a good one for the advanced guys. Other than that, it's a bit of a waiting game.
Rusty.
