The Lowdown

Right then, grab a coffee, this is a tough one to call. To be honest, looking at the whole 16-day window for Pors Ar Ville, it’s a frustrating run. The bulk of the period is a write-off, with onshore and cross-onshore winds ruining what little swell there is. There’s a glimmer of a window from the 26th of July into the first couple of days of August, but it’s not looking like a classic.

We start with a blank run. For the first week, from Sunday the 19th of July right through to Saturday the 25th, it’s a total loss. The surf is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, making it a choppy, blown-out mess. You’d be better off doing anything else.

The first real sign of life comes on Sunday the 26th of July. The morning has a clean offshore wind from the WSW, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft. Not worth a paddle. The afternoon, however, shows a pulse. The swell jumps to 4ft from the WNW, with a clean cross-offshore breeze. The wave energy is moderate (114), and the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The water temp is about average for the time of year at 64°F.

Monday the 27th of July sees a sizeable increase, with the swell hitting 5ft to 5ft from the WNW, and the energy ramping up to strong (316-334). The problem is the wind goes cross-shore and picks up, creating a cross-chop. It’s surfable for the experienced crew, but it’s not clean. That kind of power with a 9-second period and side-wind is going to be a battle.

The standout in this whole outlook is Thursday the 30th of July. The morning has a clean 3ft from the WNW, with light cross-shore winds and a 9-second period. The energy is a moderate 115. It’s not big, but it’s the cleanest, most surfable window for anyone who isn’t an expert. The break is a beach and reef, so that long period groundswell we saw on the 26th might have been better for a point, but for this little window, it’s the pick. The crowd situation is “sometimes” busy, so you might have some company.

After that, the swell tails off through the end of July and into August, with onshore winds returning. The 1st of August has a clean offshore/cross-offshore wind and 3ft of swell, which is a decent backup option, but it’s not the same quality as the 30th.

The big swell on the 27th and 28th of July, over 5ft and up to 6ft, is solidly in the intermediate to expert range, and the cross-onshore wind makes it a messy, windy beast. For a beach and reef setup, that’s more of a kite-surfing day than a clean paddle-surfing session.

So, if you’ve got to pick a day, point your car at Pors Ar Ville on the morning of Thursday the 30th of July. It’s the cleanest, most user-friendly window in a pretty bleak stretch. The rest of it is a waiting game.
