The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same deal but in feet and knots. Gotta be honest, Pors-Ar-Ville is looking mostly flat and messy for a long stretch. The water’s about 66°F, just a smidge warmer than the norm, but that’s about all the good news. Swell energy numbers are weak—all under 100 (349, 195, 84) for the first part of the run, and most days the wind is cross or onshore, making it choppy and lumpy. Nothing to get excited about.
Through the end of August, there’s a dead period. Honestly, you’re looking at a solid week with no wave worth mentioning.
The first flicker of life comes Friday the 29th of August. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the WNW with a short 9-second period, but at least the wind is clean and cross-offshore. Energy reading at 471 shows moderate wave power. It’s not a classic, but for this stretch it’s a gift. The shortness of the period means it won’t be the cleanest shape, but you’ll get some fun ones in the morning.
Then comes Sunday the 30th of August. This is the real standout. Morning shows a 5ft WNW swell at 8 seconds, backed by a clean offshore wind from the SSW at 13 knots. Combined energy of 318 means it’s got noticeable push. That offshore breeze will bring good shape and open faces. That early session is your best bet because the afternoon winds swing strong offshore at 24 knots, making it tough to get into the waves. But that window in the morning is the closest we get to good.
The 31st still looks rideable, but smaller (4ft) and winds are stronger. It’s clean, but wave count will be low.
September starts, and it’s back down to tiny surf—2ft and under, with weak periods and low energy. You get a tiny window of glassy, clean conditions on the 4th of September with a light offshore wind, but only 2ft of swell. That’s strictly longboard territory.
So here’s the take: don't rush out now. Wait until the end of the month, mark your calendar for the 30th of August for the most promise. It’s a long wait, but there might be a couple of decent ones in there.
Rusty.
