The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Pors Ar Ville.
The pattern over the next two weeks is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some moderate swell showing up, but the wind is going to be a major player, often blowing hard out of the southwest, which is offshore for this spot, but it also creates a lot of surface chop that makes paddling a real battle. The first proper window of surf doesn’t kick off until Sunday the 30th of August.
Saturday the 29th is a write-off. The morning has some swell (1ft from the NW), but the wind is a strong 25 mph out of the SW, which is offshore but with such a strong breeze you’d be fighting it just to get out. The afternoon jumps up to a solid 8ft from the west, but it’s again blowing 25 mph and cross-offshore, making for a tough, lumpy session. The combined wave energy is a whopping 1056—that’s a lot of power, but it’s not clean power.
Sunday the 30th is where it starts to look more promising. The morning brings a cleaner 5ft from the WNW with a moderate 16 mph offshore wind, and the energy drops to a more manageable 290. This is clean, rideable surf. The afternoon stays clean with 5ft from the west, but the wind picks up to 25 mph again, making it hard to get into.
Monday the 31st sees the swell peak. Morning waves are 7ft from the WNW with a 10-second period and a moderate 16 mph cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is high at 932. That’s expert territory; a punchy, powerful groundswell. The afternoon drops to 7ft, but the wind goes cross-shore, so it won’t be as clean.
Tuesday the 1st of September is the standout. The morning offers a glassy, clean 4ft from the WNW with a light 6 mph offshore wind. That’s the kind of session where you can just cruise. Combined energy is 218—enough push for good walls. The water is a warm 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
After that, the quality drops off fast. There’s a lot of wind and choppy conditions, and by the 5th of September, the swell is fading. The weekend of the 5th and 6th is small and mostly onshore or cross-shore. Saturday the 5th morning does have a nice glassy 4ft from the WNW with a 10-second period—that’s clean but the swell is backing off. That’s your last decent look before a long run of small, weak, and predominantly onshore conditions.
From the 7th of September onward, it’s largely a bust. The swell sticks around in the 3ft to 5ft range, but the wind is coming from the north or northeast, putting it onshore and choppy. The long-range window around the 13th of September shows some tiny 1ft swell with a very long 14-second period, but that’s not enough to ride here. Combined energy is a mere 134.
The only true standout is the Tuesday morning, 1st of September: clean, light offshore, waist-chest high waves at 4ft from the WNW. That’s your best bet.
Rusty out.
