The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s run it down for Pors Ar Ville in imperial.
This is a grim outlook, plain and simple. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead with nothing worth paddling out for on most days. The first week is pretty much a write-off – tiny surf, onshore winds, and combined swell energy barely cracking three figures for over a week. The water temp is about 64°F, which is about average for this time of year. Not much to get excited about.
The first sign of life doesn’t show up until the morning of Sunday, July 26th. That morning, we get a combined swell energy of 202 with a 5ft swell out of the WNW, but the period is a short 7 seconds. The wind is cross-shore and the wave quality is poor. It jumps to about 5ft that afternoon with energy at 257, but still messy and cross-shore. This size is more for experienced surfers, but the chop will make it a slog.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day run is Monday morning, July 27th. That morning, combined energy hits 260, with a 4ft swell out of the NW at a decent 9-second period. The key here is the wind – a light WNW cross-offshore breeze at about 6 mph, keeping the surf clean. That’s the window. The file says “clean,” and that’s what you want. It’s a beach and reef setup, so that NW swell direction should wrap in nicely. No word on crowds, but this spot can get a few heads when it’s clean.
After that morning, it drops off again. The rest of the week and into early August is back to tiny, onshore dribble with combined energy under 100. There’s a glassy morning on August 2nd, but with only 1ft of swell, it’s not going to keep your interest.
So to sum it up: wait for the morning of July 27th. That’s your only real chance for a decent session.
Rusty.
