Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag for Pors Ar Ville. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel if you’re patient.
Right now, we’re looking at a blank run that lasts all the way from July 6th through to July 18th. That’s nearly two full weeks where the surf is either tiny, blown out by onshore winds, or both. For a spot like this, that kind of quiet spell isn't unusual, but it’s a drag when you’re keen.
The first glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Saturday, July 19th. We’ve got a little pulse of NW swell pushing in at 4ft, but it’s a short-period wind swell (7 seconds). The combined energy is moderate at best (162). Winds will be light and cross-shore, so the surface should stay reasonably clean. It’s not going to be a classic, but it’s the first decent opportunity we’ve seen in a while.
Now, the standout window, the one you’ve been waiting for, arrives on Monday, July 20th. This is the best on offer. The swell from the WNW picks up to 5ft in the morning, then jumps to a solid 6ft by the afternoon. The combined energy really starts to build, reaching 382 by Monday arvo. Winds turn cross-offshore from the WNW too, which will keep those waves clean and peeling. That afternoon session on the 20th is your pick of the entire outlook. It’s a nice, punchy groundswell for the beach-and-reef setup here.
Tuesday morning, July 21st, holds similar energy at 6ft from the WNW, but the forecast has it as a bit more marginal, so don’t expect the same quality as the day before. The winds stay cross-offshore, but the combined wave energy is getting strong at 434.
Important to remember: Pors Ar Ville is an advanced wave, so when it’s running over 5ft like on the 20th and 21st, that’s expert territory. Beginners should sit this one out. Also, the spot is exposed to the WNW, and the optimum direction is WNW, so the swell direction is lining up perfectly. Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so expect company when it’s good.
Rusty, signing off.
