The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Pors Ar Ville has cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week is a bit of a write-off. There’s a long dry spell from now until the 8th of August where the surf is just too weak and the conditions aren't playing ball. You’re looking at tiny little 1ft to 3ft waves with poor quality and messy winds. The energy is barely registering, so don't even bother paddling out. It’s a solid gap of flatness.
Now, things start to get interesting around Sunday the 9th of August. We see a pulse of swell coming in, with height pushing up to 6ft from the WNW. The wave energy kicks up strong, but the wind is cross-shore and the conditions are marginal – a bit of a cross-chop making it messy. It’s a tease, but not the day.
The real standout, the one to circle on the calendar, is Monday the 10th of August. That morning, Pors Ar Ville is looking like the best bet in the whole window. Swell is a solid 7ft from the west, with a moderate 8-second period. The energy is pumping and here’s the kicker – the wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze, keeping the surf clean. This is proper, powerful stuff for advanced surfers only. Anything over 5ft is getting heavy, and at 7ft, it’s strictly for the experienced crew. The swell direction is WNW, which is right in the break's sweet spot.
After that peak, it drops off again. The 11th of August offers a tiny 2ft swell with glassy conditions in the morning, but the energy is low and it’s not enough to get excited about. The rest of the second week fades back into small, clean but weak surf. The 12th through the 16th of August sees heights hovering around 1.0ft to 3ft with energy levels dropping off, making it a pretty quiet end to the outlook. It’s not terrible, but it’s not worth the trip.
Overall, keep your eyes on that Monday the 10th of August for a proper session.
Rusty.
