Pors Ar Ville Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here with the look ahead for our local stretch. Let's get into it.

First up, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The surf is small and wonky through the weekend and into Monday. Don't get too excited about the first few days—it’s not going to be worth paddling out. We’re looking at a bit of a lull to kick things off, with nothing solid until later in the week.

But hold on, because things start to shape up. Thursday the 17th morning is looking like the first real standout. Pors Ar Ville is going to be the spot to be. The swell is coming in from the WNW at a solid 6ft, with a 10-second period—nice groundswell that’ll hold up. The wind is offshore from the WSW at 15 mph, meaning clean, peeling faces. The combined energy is decent, sitting at 540—moderate energy, but with that offshore wind, it’ll be punchy. This is the pick of the early period.

Then we move into Friday the 18th. The swell is building. Morning sees 7ft from the NW with a 13-second period. That’s some proper groundswell energy—1575 on the energy scale, so it’s strong. But here’s the thing: that’s a big swell for Pors Ar Ville, and it’s a beach and reef setup. The period is long, so it’s going to be a bit more powerful and maybe a bit too much for the average surfer. The wind is cross-off from the W at 9 mph, so the conditions will be clean, but you’ll want to be confident in your ability. That’s a wave for the experienced crew.

After that, things start to taper off. The weekend of the 20th and 21st still has some swell, but the wind starts to turn, and the quality drops. Sunday the 20th morning has 5ft from the WNW, and the wind goes light offshore from the SSW at 3 mph—glass-off conditions. That could be a fun session if you time it right, but the energy is only moderate (436).

Then we hit a dry spell. From the 22nd through the 28th, it’s mostly onshore and choppy, with small, weak swell. The wind is howling from the NE at 15-18 mph, and the waves are just not cooperating. There’s a brief moment on the 28th with some 3ft NW swell and a 12-second period, but the wind is cross-on and the energy is only moderate (345). It’s not going to be worth it unless you’re desperate for a paddle.

So, to sum it up: the clear winner is Thursday the 17th morning. That’s the one to pencil in. Friday the 18th is for the advanced crew only. After that, it’s a waiting game until the next proper swell.

Rusty out.
