The Lowdown

Right, mates, Rusty here with a look at the surf ahead for Pors Ar Ville. This spot is a bit of a tricky one—it’s a consistent beach and reef setup that takes a lot of WNW swell to get going, and the next couple of weeks are going to test our patience. It’s a break for the advanced crew when it gets proper, but we’ll be chasing windows of clean conditions as much as size.

The water here is sitting at 65°, which is just about what you’d expect for this time of year.

The good news is there’s swell on the way, but the wind is going to be the main story for the first week. Friday the 4th kicks off with a 5 ft to 6 ft WNW swell but cross-off winds in the 15 to 25 km/h range are gonna keep it messy—it’s in the “marginal” category, really not worth getting excited about. Wave energy is moderate, sitting around 309 to 433.

Saturday the 5th sees the swell bump up to 6 ft from the WNW with a nice long period of 12 seconds, and the energy jumps to a solid 808 (strong). But here’s the kicker: it’s cross-on and then onshore by the afternoon. The morning has a slight cross-onshore ripple, so it’s not clean. It’s a tease—bigger, longer swell but the wind’s not playing ball.

Sunday the 6th drops right off to just 3 ft to 3 ft, with weak energy (96 to 151) and cross winds. Not worth paddling for.

Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th offer the best chance in this first week. We’ve got 5 ft to 6 ft WNW swell with a period of 10 to 13 seconds, and cross-off winds at 20 km/h. The energy is moderate to strong (445 to 948), and the water will be clean. It’s still just “marginal” in the forecast, but that’s about as good as it gets for now. These days are the only real options if you’re desperate for a session.

By Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th, the swell is fading (4 ft to 6 ft) but Thursday morning actually pulls in an offshore wind from the SW at 35 km/h, with a 5 ft swell. That’s a fresh offshore breeze and clean conditions, but the swell period is a short 8 seconds, and the energy is only moderate (300 to 547). It’s a chance, not a classic.

Then comes a big lull. From Friday the 11th right through to the end of the outlook on Saturday the 19th, it’s mostly poor conditions with weak to moderate energy (75 to 469), onshore or cross-onshore wind, and the swell is all over the shop. There’s a standout morning on Saturday the 12th—glassy, flat calm winds from the NE at 5 km/h, with a 4 ft WNW swell at 9 seconds. That’s a beautiful window of clean, glassy conditions, but the swell is small (energy 230, moderate). It’s surfable, but you’ll be working for it.

If you’re after the best of a tough run, aim for the morning of Saturday the 12th—glassy conditions and a clean little 4 ft swell. Otherwise, the honest truth is the next two weeks are a test of dedication more than skill.

That’s it from me. Stay patient, and don’t sell the farm for a marginal day.
