The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Pors Ar Ville over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long dry spell. From Tuesday 28 July right through to Monday 10 August there isn’t a single window worth paddling out for. That’s nearly two weeks of poor surf conditions, with only small wind-affected swell and onshore or cross-onshore winds. The wave heights barely get above 3 ft, and even then, the quality is just not there.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t come until the second week of August. On Monday afternoon, 10 August, the swell pushes up to 6 ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 436, and winds go cross-offshore and clean. That’s a big shift from the junk we’ve been looking at. Still, the forecast at this range is promising but less certain. If it holds, that afternoon session could be the standout of the fortnight, with clean lines and some decent push.
Fair warning for beginners: that 6 ft swell is on the edge – it’ll be a bit much if you’re still finding your feet.
Following that, Tuesday morning 11 August still has some life, with 4 ft WNW swell and light cross-offshore winds, but the energy drops back to a moderate 163 and the waves will be just average. After that, it looks like we slip back into small, clean but weak conditions.
Pors Ar Ville is an exposed beach and reef setup, and it handles a west-northwest swell best, which is exactly what we get on that Monday. The water temp is sitting at 65° with a normal anomaly for late July, so it’s about average for this time of year. No surprises there.
For the rest of the window, it’s pretty much flat or choppy. So mark that Monday 10 August afternoon in your calendar, and keep your fingers crossed the long-range forecast holds.
Stay patient.
Rusty.
