The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle session. We’ve got a long dry spell ahead, so let’s get into it.
Right now, through to the end of next week, there’s just nothing doing. The surf is flat and messy. The only spot on the radar is Pors Ar Ville, a beach and reef setup that needs a good WNW swell to work, and it’s just not getting any love. The water temp is sitting around 65°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We’ve got a solid 11-day gap from the start of the forecast with no real surf to speak of. The first hint of anything remotely interesting doesn’t show up until the morning of Monday the 19th of August. Even then, it’s not great. The swell is a weak 4 ft from the WNW but with a short period of 7 seconds, so it’ll be fat and weak. The wind is light and cross-off at first, which is a rare clean moment, but the combined energy is only 99 – that’s weak. The wave comment says "poor surf conditions," and I have to agree. It’s not worth the drive.
The best of a bad bunch comes later on Thursday the 22nd of August. We see a jump in the swell to 4 ft from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy hits 283 (moderate). That’s the biggest energy we’ll see in the whole period. But the wind is a dealbreaker – it’s onshore from the NNE at 16 mph, which will wreck any chance of a clean wave. For a beach and reef break, that’s a no-go for a paddle. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than a traditional surfboard.
There’s nothing in the 16-day window that I’d call a standout. The consistency is there, but the quality is not. If you’re desperate, the cleanest windows are the morning of Monday the 19th with that light cross-off, or the morning of Thursday the 23rd, but the wind and swell combo just don’t line up. For now, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.
Rusty.
