The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at the next couple of weeks for Pors Ar Ville.
Saturday the 29th is a write-off. We’ve got onshore wind and lousy surf, so don’t bother paddling out. The real action starts to build on Sunday the 30th. The morning sees a clean 5 ft swell from the WNW with moderate offshore wind from the SW, giving us some decent shape. That's the best of the early weekend.
Things get more interesting heading into Monday the 31st. The swell jumps to 7 ft from the WNW with a clean 10-second period. Wind is cross-offshore, so the wave faces will be tidy. Combined wave energy is moderate. This is a solid session for experienced surfers.
The first week closes out well. Tuesday morning, September 1st, delivers a clean 4 ft swell with light cross-offshore breeze. It’s small but clean. Friday, September 4th, starts to buzz. The afternoon shows a nice 7 ft WNW groundswell (9-second period) with gentle cross-offshore wind, producing very good surf conditions.
Now, looking into the second week, the standout is shaping up for Tuesday, September 8th. We’re looking at a big 10 ft swell from the WNW with a 10-11 second period. The combined energy is strong. Winds are cross-offshore and clean. This is big, powerful groundswell. At a beach and reef setup, this will be heavy, fast, and only for experts. The water is about average for this time of year.
Wednesday, September 9th, early morning is another top pick. We’ll have 7 ft of swell from the NW with a 9-second period, but what makes it special is the glassy offshore wind – just a slight air. That combination of solid swell and no wind will give you the cleanest, best-could-be waves of the whole run. Definitely one to circle on the calendar.
There are gaps of small, weak, or windy days in between, so pick your windows. Overall, the setup at Pors Ar Ville is exposed to the WNW, which is bang on the optimum direction. For the expert crew, September 8th and 9th are the true standouts.
Rusty.
