The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, let’s talk about Pors Ar Ville for the next couple of weeks in old school numbers.
First up, we’ve got a pretty dead start. The beginning of this run from Wednesday 26th is a no-go – tiny swell, poor conditions. You’re looking at a blank spell for the first few days. Things start to get interesting as we push into the weekend.
The first real glimmer of hope comes Saturday morning, 29th August. There’s a bump in size to 6 ft from the SW, but it’s blowing a fresh 22 mph offshore. That’s clean, but the energy is moderate. Sunday morning, 30th August, is a better option. We’ve got 6 ft from the WNW with a 10-second period, clean under a moderate offshore. It’s a solid session, but not the headline act.
Now, the standout. Mark your calendar for Thursday, 4th September. Friday, 4th September morning is the one to circle. We’re looking at 6 ft from the WNW, but the period jumps to 11 seconds – proper groundswell. The wind is virtually non-existent, just a slight air, making it glassy. The combined energy is strong. This is a set-up that’ll have the banks working nicely. It’s a beach and reef set-up here, and with that longer period, it’ll be a bit more lined up and waiting for you at the right spots. Just a heads-up, crowds are possible here sometimes, so get out early.
After that, the following Monday, 7th September, has some size with 6 ft and offshore winds, but the swell is a bit raw with that fresh breeze. Then into Wednesday, 9th September, we see some serious size – up to 8 ft from the WNW. That’s expert territory. The combined energy is very strong, but it’s cross-offshore, so it’ll be powerful and tricky. Not a beginner’s day.
The last real shout is Thursday, 10th September morning. A clean 6 ft from the WNW under a light offshore, with strong energy. A good way to finish the period.
To be honest, the earlier part of the forecast is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a solid gap of four to five days with nothing worth paddling for. But that Thursday, 4th September morning is the pick. Clean, solid groundswell, glassy. Get on it.
