The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's look at what's cookin' at Pors Ar Ville. It's a beach and reef break, open to the west-northwest, and not one for the groms.
I gotta be honest, the first week and a half is a total bust. From Wednesday, August 5th, right through to the morning of Saturday, August 16th, there's just nothing worth paddling out for. That's a solid ten days of flatness and junk. The early swells are tiny, and the wind is all wrong – cross, cross-on, and onshore – chopping everything up. The wave energy is in the weak range, barely a whisper.
But there's a light at the end of the tunnel. The real standout is Monday, August 18th. We've got a strong groundswell from the west-northwest, hitting 7ft in the morning and building to 8ft in the afternoon. The period is a solid 10 seconds, which means real power, and the combined energy is way up at 1030 and 1065 – that's a lot of juice. The wind is a clean cross-off from the west-southwest, so it should be glassy. This is a big, powerful swell, over 7ft, so it's strictly for the experts. The sets will be long and heavy.
Sunday the 17th is a decent warm-up. You've got 5ft to 6ft, also with cross-off winds and a clean surface. The energy is strong (341 and 407), but the period is shorter at 8 seconds, so it's a bit more of a windswell. It's still a good option for the advanced crew.
The week after that starts to fade. Tuesday the 19th has 5ft waves with cross-off winds, but the energy is dropping. By Thursday the 20th, it's back to small stuff.
So, bottom line: the first half of the forecast is a no-go. Your best bet is Monday, August 18th, for the experts. Sunday the 17th is a solid second choice. That long-range call is promising, but don't nail your plans to it just yet.
Rusty.
