The Lowdown
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.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Pors Ar Ville may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
