The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the same scoop, but in feet and miles.
It’s a slow start, no doubt about it. The first few days are a total bust. But there’s a couple of solid windows coming up that you don’t want to miss.
Pors Ar Ville is the only game in town, a beach and reef setup for the advanced crowd, and it loves a WNW swell.
The first real chance to paddle out comes Monday, September 7. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the WNW with a long 14-second period and moderate energy (704). The wind is a cross-off, so it’ll be clean. The afternoon jumps to 6ft, 13 seconds, with strong energy (917), and the wind stays a moderate cross-off, keeping things lined up.
Tuesday the 8th holds a similar 5ft, but the period drops to 10 seconds and the energy drops to 416. The morning is still clean with cross-off wind, but the afternoon turns cross-shore and the quality goes south. Wednesday and Thursday are a mess – choppy, cross-shore winds. Skip those.
Here’s the one to circle. Friday, September 11, morning. You’ve got a 5ft swell from the W, an 8-second period, and a proper offshore wind from the SW blowing at 15 mph. The water will be clean and lined up, with moderate energy (317). The afternoon is still okay with a 5ft WNW swell and cross-off wind, but the morning is the standout.
But the *real* gem is Saturday, September 12, afternoon. The swell is only 3ft, but it’s a clean 10-second period, and the wave energy is moderate (210). The wind is glassy – zero, calm. That’s a rare treat. The waves will be perfect, clean, and small. Expect crowds, but it’ll be worth it.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. From Sunday the 13th onward, the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell gets messy. There’s a pulse of 3ft to 4ft NW swell in the middle of the second week, but the onshore winds kill it for paddle surfing. That setup looks more fun for a kite board.
So, bottom line: Friday morning and Saturday afternoon are your two windows. Saturday afternoon, with the glassy conditions, is the absolute best on offer.
Rusty.
