The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a mixed bag coming our way over the next couple of weeks. The surf is going to be a bit of a slow starter, so don't rush to grab your board just yet. The best window looks like it's going to be around the first weekend of September, with a few other promising sessions later on.
The first solid surf we see hits on Sunday morning, the 30th of August at Pors Ar Ville. It’s an exposed beach and reef setup, so it can handle a bit of juice. We’re looking at a 5ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. Not the longest period, but with a moderate offshore breeze from the SW, it should be clean. The combined wave energy is moderate at 290.
Things get a bit more interesting on Monday, the 31st of August. The swell picks up to 7ft from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds. The wave energy jumps noticeably to 970, which is a solid step up. The wind is a cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean but a bit more lined up. This is a step up in size, but still manageable for experienced surfers.
The real standout is shaping up for Saturday morning, the 5th of September. After a few days of smaller, cleaner surf, we get a perfect session. The wind is glassy, with a light SSW breeze, and the swell is a clean 5ft from the WNW with a period of 11 seconds. The wave energy is 584, and the conditions are described as "glassy." This is the kind of morning you set an alarm for. The water temp is about average for the time of year, which is standard for this spot.
The next big one to watch is on Friday, the 11th of September. The forecast shows a 6ft swell from the WNW with a very long period of 12 seconds. The wave energy is strong at 1033. This is a groundswell, and with a moderate offshore wind, it should be excellent for experienced surfers. The long period will make it better shaped at the reef and point sections of this break, and the sets will be more spaced out, making it easier to get out back.
There’s also a pulse on Saturday, the 12th of September, with a 8ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is strong and cross-offshore. That’s a big, powerful wave for experts only. The energy is very high at 1461, but the wind is strong, making it a bit of a handful.
Overall, the best calls are the glassy Saturday morning on the 5th of September and the long-period groundswell on Friday, the 11th. The rest of the window has some clean but smaller surf, or bigger, more challenging conditions.
