Pors Ar Ville Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The window opens with a bit of a flat, messy stretch, but there’s some real promise tucked in there if you’re patient.

For the first few days, Monday and Tuesday, it’s pretty average. We’ve got small, weak swell – around 3 to 3 feet – with a mix of cross and cross-off winds. The energy’s low, sitting around 137 to 149, so it’s not doing much. Water’s sitting at 63°, which is right around normal for this time of year. Nothing to write home about yet.

Then Wednesday kicks things up a notch. Swell jumps to around 7 feet, and the energy goes solidly moderate at 838. But the wind’s messing with it – cross-on and choppy. Thursday brings a better angle with offshore wind in the morning, but the swell drops a bit to around 5 feet. Still, that offshore flow cleans it up nicely. Friday is where it starts to get interesting – we’re looking at 7 feet plus with a long 13-second period, and the energy jumps to 1551. That’s proper groundswell. The wind is cross-off and light, so the conditions are clean. This is one of the better windows early on.

Saturday backs off a little – around 5 feet, shorter period, still clean but nothing special. Sunday morning looks decent though – 5 feet, moderate energy, and light offshore winds. But it’s Sunday afternoon where things get a bit wild – over 8 feet with 11 seconds, energy at 1400, but the wind turns cross-on and it gets a bit lumpy. That one’s for the crew who don’t mind a bit of push.

Now, here’s the standout. Monday the 21st. The morning is looking glassy – almost no wind, 5 km/h from the ENE, and you’ve got around 5 feet of long-period NW groundswell at 13 seconds. Energy’s sitting at 632, which is solid. That’s the cleanest, most organised swell of the whole period. Pors Ar Ville (Pors-Ar-Ville) will be working proper. This is the one to circle.

After that, we hit a flat spell through Tuesday and Wednesday – small, onshore junk, nothing doing. But then Thursday the 25th sees a big jump in size – around 6 feet – but the wind is fresh and cross-on, so it’s lumpy and messy. Not worth it.

Finally, Friday the 26th and Saturday the 27th have a bit of a pulse. Sunday the 27th morning – 6 feet, light cross-off wind, clean. That’s a nice surprise. But by the afternoon, it’s over 8 feet again, and the wind turns cross-on, so it’s a scrappy one.

The tail end of the window, Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th – Monday’s a bit of a drop-off, but Tuesday morning looks promising. Around 4 feet with offshore wind and decent energy. Not huge, but clean and fun.

So, overall – don’t rush out for the first few days. Friday the 18th is solid, but Monday the 21st is the real gem. After that, keep an eye on Tuesday the 29th for a clean, smaller session. The rest is either too small, too windy, or just not organised enough.

Stay patient, keep the board waxed.

Rusty.
