Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Pors Ar Ville over the next 16 days. I’ll be real with you—it’s a tough stretch. This break needs everything to fall into place, and for most of this period, it just ain’t happening.
We kick things off, and it’s a pretty empty picture. There’s some swell, but it’s small and the wind is all wrong. The water is sitting at about 63°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s one small win. But that’s about it. For the first week, right through the 12th of July, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The swell is tiny, mostly around 2 ft to 3 ft, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore almost the whole time, ruining any chance of a clean wave. The energy in the water is weak to moderate, and it’s all marked as poor. You’d be better off staying on the sand.
The second week doesn’t offer much hope either. We see a little spike on the morning of the 14th of July, where the period bumps up to 11 seconds and energy picks up, but it’s still just 2 ft and the wind is onshore. No good. Then on Friday the 17th of July, there’s a bigger push of swell—5 ft to 5 ft—coming from the NE and NNE. But the period is a short 6 to 7 seconds, the wind is howling from the east at 15-19 mph, and it’s just choppy, messy surf. The energy is moderate, but it’s not surfable. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.
The only real glimmer in this entire 16-day window is the morning of Saturday the 18th of July. We’ve got a glassy wind, which is a rare treat, and a small but clean 2 ft swell from the NW. The energy is weak, but with the wind dead calm, it could be a fun little session on a longboard if you’re desperate for a paddle. Still, it’s tiny.
Bottom line: There are no standout days here. The entire 16-day period is a long gap of poor conditions. Pors Ar Ville is an exposed spot, but it needs a better swell direction and lighter winds to work. A blank run like this is more normal for the area when the windows don’t line up. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d keep my board in the car and wait for another day.
Rusty.
