The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way for Pors Ar Ville.

Honestly, the next week and a half is a write-off. We’re staring down a long gap of poor surf conditions with hardly any swell to speak of. From Friday the 17th right through to Sunday the 27th, it’s tiny, onshore, and choppy. Lots of NE wind, and the swell barely gets above 3 ft. The combined energy is weak, mostly under 100, so don’t even bother paddling out. There’s a day or two of light cross-shore wind around the 22nd and 23rd, but with only 1 ft to 2 ft on offer, it’s not worth the wetsuit hassle.

Things start to look a bit more interesting around Sunday the 26th of July. The wind swings to cross-off from the WNW, and we get a clean 3 ft swell, but it’s short period at 6 to 7 seconds. The energy is still moderate, around 88 to 101. It’s not great, but it’s the first sign of life.

The real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Thursday the 30th of July. That morning, Pors Ar Ville will see a proper 13 ft WNW swell, with a long period of 12 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 3760, which is very strong. The wind is light and cross from the NW, so it will be clean, but this is big. For the advanced crew only – this is expert territory. That long period groundswell will be lining up nicely, but it’s going to be powerful and straight at a beach-and-reef setup. The afternoon drops a touch to 11 ft, but the wind goes cross-on, so the morning is the window.

The water temperature is sitting at 64°F, which is about 1°F above normal, so nothing unusual for the time of year.

Crowds at Pors Ar Ville can be around sometimes, especially when it’s good, but on a 13 ft day, the crowd will thin out to only the brave.

Before that, Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th offer some clean, cross-off waves in the 4 ft to 5 ft range, with moderate energy (264 to 487), but it’s still described as marginal. The 29th afternoon pushes 7 ft, but with rain showers and a shorter period, it’s a bit messy.

After the 30th, it drops back down quickly. Friday the 31st is still big but onshore and lumpy, not worth it.

So, bottom line: suffer through the next ten days of flatness, then keep your eyes on Thursday the 30th of July morning. That’s the one. Big, clean, and powerful.

Rusty.
