The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a good look at what’s coming down the pipe for this little corner of the coast. We’re looking at a pretty flat start, so don't bother waxing up just yet.
The early part of the week is a write-off. Tuesday through Thursday, we’re seeing tiny, weak waves with poor surf conditions. The swell energy is barely registering, with combined energy values like 69 and 38. The water is currently sitting at 66.2°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it feels nice if you just want a float, but there's nothing to ride.
Thursday morning on the 29th of August is when things start to get a little more interesting. The wind goes offshore, which is a good sign, but the swell is just over 5.6 ft and the period is short at 8 seconds. It’s a bit of a messy, choppy affair and the combined energy is still building, hitting around 337. It’s marginal at best, really only for the experienced crew who don't mind fighting for a few lumpy ones.
Now, if you’ve got patience, hold out for Sunday the 30th of August. This is the first real standout. For the morning session, we’re looking at a solid 5.6 ft of groundswell up from the WNW, pushing a 10-second period. The wind is blowing offshore from the SW, keeping those faces clean, and the combined energy is roaring at 528. This is where all that potential finally comes together. The optimum swell direction for Pors Ar Ville is from the WNW, so this is perfect. This is your session.
Looking further ahead, Saturday the 5th of September is another solid highlight. We’ve got a similar setup: a 6.9 ft swell from the WNW with offshore winds from the WSW. The combined energy is 631, so there's plenty of push. It’s a bit bigger, but with those offshore winds, it should be holding up nicely. This one has the potential to be a cracker, but it’s a week out, so keep an eye on the forecasts.
Overall, it's a slow start that builds into a promising run of groundswell from the end of August into the first week of September. Get the Sunday on your calendar.
