The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s look at what’s on the cards for Pors Ar Ville over the next couple of weeks. To be upfront, it’s a tough stretch for this spot – a long, quiet run with little to get excited about for paddle surfing.
Right from Tuesday the 28th of July through the end of July and into the first few days of August, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 3ft, and the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, kicking up chop and ripples. The energy is weak – you’re looking at numbers between 20 and 160 for the combined swell energy – and the waves are reporting as poor surf conditions. There’s a gap of over a week of nothing worth recommending.
As we head into the second week of August, around Saturday the 8th, things start to pick up a little, but it’s still not great. On the 8th, we see a jump to 7ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 8 to 9 seconds. The wind turns cross-offshore, so the faces should be clean. The combined energy gets into the moderate-to-strong range (650 to 794). However, the wave comment calls it marginal, with a low score – the size is getting up there, over 6ft, which is really only for experienced surfers, and the quality just isn't there for a top session. Sunday the 9th stays similar, with 6ft to 7ft and clean cross-off winds, but still only marginal at best.
After that, we drop back down. The surf fizzles out again from Monday the 10th onwards, with sizes dropping to 4ft to 5ft, and the winds switching around, often onshore or messy. The energy drops (87 to 404), and it’s back to poor or very ordinary conditions.
Honestly, the only time the swell gets any size is the 8th and 9th of August, and even then it’s just marginal. With the size over 6ft and the wind staying cross-off, this beach-and-reef setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than conventional paddle surfing during that window. There’s no standout here – just a long, quiet period with a brief, average bump.
Stay keen, but maybe leave the board at home for a while.
