Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pors Ar Ville over the next 16 days.
Howdy, Rusty here, and I'm calling it straight – for the next couple of weeks, the surf is basically a no-go. There's a big, frustrating gap of flatness and poor conditions stretching from now (Thursday) right through most of July. Don't bother racing for the car.
The only little window that looks half-decent is the morning of Wednesday, July 22nd, at Pors Ar Ville. The swell is coming from the WNW at 4ft with a 9-second period, and the total wave energy is moderate at 217. What really makes it worth a mention is the wind – a light offshore breeze from the SW making it clean. The water temp is sitting around 65°, which is a touch warmer than usual. It ain't big, and this is an advanced spot that needs good conditions, so you'll want some skills under your belt. It's a standout just because everything else is so rank. Expect some other folks might be out as crowds are possible.
That clean window is short though. By afternoon the wind shifts and turns messy again.
The rest of the run into the final week of July is a real bummer. Saturday the 25th has a bit more size – about 5ft from the WNW – but the wind is all wrong (cross or cross-onshore), and even though the combined energy is a strong 415, the chop will ruin it for paddling. On a beach and reef setup like this, with that much wind and swell, it's really a kite surfing day, not a paddle surfing one.
That’s it for the highlights. Honestly, a pretty barren stretch.
Rusty.
