The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The first week is a bit of a write-off, honestly. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, messy, and blown-out conditions before things start to look up. For the first few days, the swell is tiny and the wind is all over the place, mostly cross-onshore or onshore, so you’re better off doing something else. The water temperature at Pors Ar Ville is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first real glimmer of hope hits on Thursday, August 28. The waves come up to 4ft, but more importantly, on the afternoon we get a 10ft pulse from the WNW with a 9-second period. That’s a big bump, but it’s pushing 19 mph cross-offshore wind, and the combined wave energy is a hefty 1494 – that’s strong energy. This is a powerful, raw swell, and at that size, it’s strictly for advanced surfers. The wind is clean, but it’s a big, challenging day.
Then, the standout arrives. Head down to Pors Ar Ville on Saturday, August 30. The afternoon delivers 5ft of swell from the W, with an 8-second period, and the wind goes offshore from the SW at 9 mph. It’s a gentle offshore breeze, making for clean, lined-up waves. The combined energy is 358 – moderate but solid. This is your best window: good size, good wind, and the break is consistent and exposed to the WNW swell. Expect some company though, as it can get crowded. This is a proper session, no doubt.
The good run continues into Sunday, August 31. We’ve got 5ft from the WNW again, with a 9-second period and light cross-offshore winds. The energy is a bit higher at 371-380, and the conditions are clean. This is another solid day, but the swell direction is slightly more north, so it might be a touch straighter at the beach.
Looking further ahead to Thursday, September 4, the swell picks up again to 5ft from the WNW. The morning is glassy, with no wind, and the wave energy is 326. That’s a promising call, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecast.
For the rest of the second week, the swell hangs around but the conditions are a bit more mixed – some clean, some with a cross-shore chop. It’s not a total loss, but nothing beats that Saturday-Monday run at the end of August.
