Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
Well, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the next week and a half is looking pretty grim. For Pors Ar Ville, we’ve got a long stretch of nothing but onshore wind and tiny, weak swell. From Friday 10th all the way through to Tuesday 22nd July, it’s nothing but "poor surf conditions" – a real bummer. The wind is hammering it from the NE and ENE, just smashing any chance of a clean wave. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the energy is weak (as low as 2 to 166 in the brackets). The water is a touch warmer than normal at 65°, but that’s little comfort when the surf is flat and messy.
The real story starts to change on Wednesday 22nd July. We get a late-arriving pulse of WNW swell, picking up to 4 ft on Wednesday morning, with the combined energy jumping to a moderate 205. The wind is still cross-onshore and choppy though, so it’s not quite there yet. Wednesday afternoon gets a bit bigger at 5 ft, but with a strong 19 mph onshore wind, this is only for the experts.
The standout window is Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th July. Thursday morning brings a clean 4 ft of WNW swell, period around 9 seconds, and the wind swings to a cross-offshore breeze from the S. The energy is solid (280 in the brackets). This is when the waves start to look good. Friday morning 24th July is the pick of the bunch – 4 ft of clean WNW swell, a gentle cross-offshore wind from the WSW, and a combined energy of 237. This is a proper surf window. The break is a beach and reef setup, so with that longer period, look for the reef to handle it best. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
Saturday 25th July still has some life with 5 ft swell and cross-offshore wind, but the energy is dropping and it’s sliding back into poor conditions by the afternoon.
So, to sum it up: don’t bother paddling out until late next week. The best surf on offer is Friday morning, 24th July at Pors Ar Ville. It’s not massive, but it’ll be clean and fun.
Rusty.
