Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pors Ar Ville over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on Pors Ar Ville.
It's a slow start and it's gonna stay slow for a good stretch. Basically the first week and a half is flat or ugly, with small, weak surf and the wind blowing the wrong way most of the time. The water's sitting at 65°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that's a small win.
The first sign of life doesn't hit until the afternoon of July 21st. That Tuesday brings a 5ft swell out of the WNW with a 8-second period and moderate energy (253). The wind is a light cross-shore, so it'll be okay, but it's nothing special and still a bit marginal for the advanced crew. This is a beach and reef spot that's exposed and consistent, but tides will matter.
The real highlight is the morning of July 23rd. That's when we see a solid 8ft WNW swell with a longer 10-second period. The wave energy is strong, clocking in at 1286. Wind is a light cross-shore, so the surface will be clean. This is strictly for the experts. For anyone with the skills, that's the session to aim for. The swell direction is a dead-on match for the break's optimum. It's going to be big, powerful, and clean.
After that, it tapers off fast. The last week of July is generally back to small, messy conditions, with the morning of the 27th offering only small, clean leftovers for a log.
Bottom line: a long quiet period, then a big, clean swell for the experts around July 23rd.
Rusty.
