The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for this stretch of coast. Alright, so the first week is a proper struggle. There’s a big gap of nothing from the start of the period all the way through the 27th of August. Seriously, it’s flat and messy, with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The water’s sitting at 66°F – a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a little bonus if you’re just having a swim.

Then, on the morning of Friday the 28th of August, we finally get a pulse of life. It’s a bit of a raw one, though. Pors Ar Ville picks up a 5ft swell from the west, but the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s all a bit lumpy and roly-poly. The wind is a moderate offshore out of the SSW, which is good for the face, but the combined energy is only moderate (347). It’s marginal, and while it’s better than the flat spell, it’s not a day to get the hopes up. The afternoon sees the swell jump to 7ft from the WNW, still with that short period, but the energy gets a bit more serious (676). The wind swings to a cross-offshore, keeping it clean. This is the pick of the first week, but it’s still a tough, powerful wave that’s going to be a handful for most.

Saturday the 29th of August morning is a repeat of the 5ft west-northwest swell with a short period, clean with a moderate offshore wind (253 energy). It’s surfable, but it’s not a standout. The next few days are a frustrating mix of onshore winds and fading swell, with a few clean offshore windows but the size drops right off.

Now, hold onto your board, because the real action is a long way off. On Monday the 7th of September, the forecast is for a monster. The morning shows a 13ft west-northwest swell with a very long period of 19 seconds. The combined energy is absolutely massive (12244). This is a proper groundswell. The problem is, Pors Ar Ville is a beach and reef setup, and a swell that long and that big can make a beach break close out straight and ugly. It’s going to be a raw, heavy, expert-only day. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore, which will keep it clean, but that’s a lot of water moving. The afternoon drops to 10ft with a 15-second period, still massive (4822). This is the standout of the entire 16 days, but it’s a long-range bet and it’s only for the bold.

The Saturday the 5th of September morning is a more friendly standout. A 5ft west-northwest swell with a 12-second period, clean cross-offshore winds, and a solid energy reading (877). The forecast says “very good” conditions. This is the one for the average joe to aim for. The swell is a good size, the period is long enough for real shape, and the wind is in your favour. The best on offer for the competent surfer, but bear in mind that the afternoon goes windy and messy.

So, if you’re patient, hold out for the 5th of September morning for the best all-rounder, and if you’re a charger, the 7th of September is a huge, dangerous, and promising swell – but it’s a long way off and the forecast could change.

Rusty.
