The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about the next couple of weeks for Pors Ar Ville. I’m not going to sugarcoat it. We have a long, dusty run of tiny, blown-out junk before anything worth paddling for shows up.
The only real chance you’ve got in the whole 16-day window is around Friday the 21st of August, and that’s a long way out. Before that, from Friday the 7th all the way through the week of the 18th, the surf is mostly knee-high or less, with onshore wind messing it up. There’s a slightly cleaner window on Wednesday the 12th with a tiny 0.7-foot W swell at 10 seconds, but it’s just not enough to get excited about.
Now, that Friday the 21st. Early morning, the wind shifts cross-offshore from the SSW at 9 mph, and the combined swell energy hits 659. The swell is going to be a chunky 7 feet from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. That’s big and punchy, expert-only stuff, and it might just close out on this beach and reef set-up. By the afternoon it backs off to a better 6 feet, still clean with a strong energy of 449. That late session looks like the best bet, but remember, this spot is inconsistent, and we are over two weeks out, so keep an eye on it. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so if this window looks good, you won’t be the only one thinking it.
Water temp is about normal for August, near 64°F. The rest of the days, honestly, look better for a kite than a paddle. That Friday the 21st is the one you want to watch.
