The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a grim outlook for Pors Ar Ville. The next week and a half is flat, blown out, or just plain ugly. We’ve got a solid 12-day stretch of poor surf, starting Monday 13 July through to Friday 24 July. Barely a ripple worth paddling for. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 64.4°, which is a bit of a tease when there’s nothing to surf.
The only glimmer comes at the very end of the window. On Saturday 25 July, things start to shift. The morning shows a 2.0ft swell from the WNW with offshore winds from the WSW at 16 mph – clean conditions but tiny. That afternoon, the swell builds to 3.0ft from the WNW, 10-second period, with cross-offshore wind from the W at 19 mph, and the combined energy jumps to 222 (moderate). It’s still not firing, but you can finally see a pulse.
The real standout is Sunday 26 July morning. That’s your best bet. Swell hits 4.6ft from the WNW, 10-second period, with a 9 mph cross-offshore breeze from the W. Combined energy is 410 (strong). Clean, punchy, and a solid size for the advanced crew. This is a consistent spot, but it’s also exposed, and the optimum swell direction is WNW – spot on. Expect crowds sometimes, especially on a Sunday with some decent swell. That morning is the one to circle.
Monday 27 July morning keeps it going with a 4.6ft WNW swell, 9-second period, 9 mph cross-offshore wind, energy 275 (moderate). Clean again. The afternoon gets a touch bigger at 5.2ft, but the wind picks up and the score drops to marginal. Tuesday 28 July morning is still clean with 4.9ft from the WNW, 8-second period, and only a 3 mph breeze – glassy. That’s your second pick.
Bottom line: surf stays poor until the final weekend. Sunday 26 July morning is the highlight – 4.6ft, clean, strong energy. After that, it fades again. Don’t hold your breath for the first week and a half.
