The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Pors Ar Ville. It’s a beach and reef setup that needs a good *WNW* swell to get going, and we’ve got plenty of that on the way, but the first few days are a bit of a write-off.
The water’s sitting at 64°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year—nothing freaky there.
The first few days are a grind. Sunday and Monday are a total no-go for a proper session: the waves are either tiny or just messy, with a cross-chop that’ll have you hating life. The swell energy is weak to moderate at best, around 96 to 151 (low energy). Not worth paddling out.
Tuesday the 8th is where it starts to look a bit more interesting. We’ve got a clean 6ft wave from the WNW, period around 10 seconds, and a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy picks up to 497 (moderate). It’s still not the best of the window, but it’s surfable. Wednesday the 9th keeps that trend going with 7ft and clean conditions, though it’s a bit punchy for beginners.
Now, if you’re waiting for the standout... lock in Sunday the 15th of September and Friday the 18th of September.
On Sunday the 15th, morning session is the call. You’ve got a solid 5ft swell from the WNW with a period of 11 seconds, clean offshore wind from the SW, and the combined energy is strong at 543. That’s a proper groundswell, and it’s going to hold up well on the reef. Conditions look excellent. The crowd factor at Pors Ar Ville is “sometimes”, so you might have company, but it’s not a zoo. This one’s for the advanced crew—anyone intermediate and up will love it.
Then on Friday the 18th, the swell sticks around at 6ft from the WNW, 11-second period, light cross-offshore wind, and the energy is strong again at 759. Both morning and afternoon are looking very good. It’s another clean, punchy day that suits the reef.
Avoid the end of the window—from Saturday the 19th onward the wind swings onshore and the conditions turn ugly. Hard pass.
To be honest, the best two days are those middle ones. The rest is either too small, too windy, or just ordinary.
Stay stoked.
Rusty.
