The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks for Pors Ar Ville (beach and reef). Let's get straight into it.
The start is a bit of a slow burn. Saturday the 12th is a write-off, just not happening. Sunday the 13th morning shows some promise with a clean 5ft swell from the WNW and a light cross-off breeze. It’s not a standout but it’s the first real chance to get wet. The water’s sitting at a touch warmer than usual for the time of year, around 64°F.
We hit a flat patch from Monday the 14th right through until Wednesday the 16th. Swell drops away and the wind gets messy. You’re better off doing something else. That gap lasts a few days.
Things start to wake up again on Thursday the 17th morning. We get a clean, moderate offshore wind from the WSW with a 4ft WNW swell (combined energy of 346). It’s surfable and clean.
Now, the real standout is Friday the 18th. That morning is your best bet of the whole run. You’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the WNW with a nice long 12-second period. That's groundswell, meaning proper energy and shape. The wind is a light cross-off, and the combined energy hits 795, which is moderate to strong. This is the one to circle. Saturday the 19th morning is also decent with an offshore breeze and a 3ft NW swell.
Look ahead to Monday the 21st morning. The forecast is for glassy conditions, which is a massive plus. Swell holds at a solid 6ft from the WNW with an 11-second period and combined energy of 713. This could be another special session if it holds. Remember, long-range calls are less certain, but this one has real potential.
After that, the swell fades out again through the middle of the following week, with small, weak waves and onshore winds. It’s looking pretty bleak from Tuesday the 22nd through Saturday the 26th.
The very tail end of the outlook on Sunday the 27th shows a bit of a pulse returning, with a 5ft NW swell and clean offshore winds in the morning, and a slightly bigger 6ft in the afternoon. It's worth keeping an eye on.
Overall, there are two true standouts: Friday the 18th morning and Monday the 21st morning. For the rest, pick your windows carefully.
Stay wet,
Rusty
