Pors Ar Ville Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it. We’ve got a rough start to this run – a few days of nothing worth getting out of bed for. The swell is flat, the wind is messy, and you’d be wasting your time. That’s the long and short of it until we see a change on Monday the 7th.

Monday morning (September 7th) is when it finally turns on. We’ve got a WNW swell at 1.5m, with a nice long period of 14 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and you can feel it in the water – the combined energy reading is 790. The wind is cross-offshore from the west at 20 km/h, so it’ll have a bit of texture, but it’s clean enough to make the most of it. Pors Ar Ville (Brittany) is exposed to the WNW, so it’s directly in the firing line. This is an advanced break, so leave the foam boards at home. Water temp is about 64°F, which is right where it should be for this time of year.

Monday afternoon is even better. The swell picks up to 1.7m, still from the WNW, with a 13-second period. The wind drops to 15 km/h, staying cross-off, and the combined energy jumps to 903. This is the pick of the whole forecast. If you’ve only got one session in you for the next two weeks, make it this one.

Tuesday (September 8th) still has some juice – 1.5m of WNW swell – but the period drops to 10 seconds and the energy pulls back to 407. The wind is light and offshore at times, which is nice, but the shorter period means it loses some of that deep-water push. Still, it’s clean and worth a paddle.

Then it goes flat and choppy again. Wednesday and Thursday are blown out with onshore wind and the swell fades to under 1m. There’s a glassy morning or two, but nothing with any size behind it. Not worth the drive.

Looking into the second week, it’s more about picking the right moment. Tuesday the 15th (morning) shows a small 0.9m NW swell, but with a very long 14-second period. The energy is only 312, so it’s not big, but that long period with light offshore wind could set up some clean, peeling lines. It’s a possibility, but it’s far out and nothing’s locked in.

The most promising of the latter half is Friday the 18th (morning). It’s tiny at 1.1m, but the conditions are perfect – dead calm, glassy, and a clean 10-second WNW swell. Combined energy is 223. It’s not going to be a heavy day, but for a fun, clean session with no one else around, it’s a solid bet. That’s the one to pencil in for a relaxing paddle.

So, bottom line: Monday the 7th is the standout. Everything else is about timing. Catch you on the beach, Rusty, out.
