The Lowdown
Alright, mates. Rusty again. Let’s take a look at Pors Ar Ville in feet and miles per hour.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch coming up. A long dry spell with hardly anything to get the heart pumping. For a break that faces WNW, the wind and swell are just not playing ball.
Starting on Friday, July 31st, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the WNW, with a short period of 5 seconds. A cross-onshore breeze at 9 mph is making it a choppy mess. The combined energy is a weak 56. Saturday, August 1st is even smaller, down to 1ft, and the onshore wind keeps the surface ugly. Sunday the 2nd has onshore wind right on it, with the swell stuck at 1ft.
Tuesday, August 4th morning offers some relief. The wind finally goes light offshore from the WSW, cleaning the surface right up. But the swell is only 1ft with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is a poor 28. It’s clean, but you’d be on a piece of foam trying to stand up. Wednesday the 5th is similar – clean cross-offshore breeze, 2ft swell, but a very short 7-second period, so no grunt.
Thursday, August 6th morning is glassy with light winds, but the swell is down to 1ft with a 10-second period. Energy is just 27. A long wait for a knee-high ripple.
Then it goes dead. From Friday, August 7th through Sunday, August 9th, the swell consistently drops below 2ft, and the wind is mostly onshore or straight on. Energy numbers fall into single digits or the teens. It’s pretty much flat.
There’s a tiny bump on Monday, August 10th morning, with a 3ft swell from the NNE and clean offshore wind from the SW. The period is a very short 6 seconds, so it’s just windswell. Energy is 66 – still on the weak side. The afternoon turns messy with a cross-shore and a risk of thunderstorms.
The rest of the second week is more of the same. The cleanest conditions come on Wednesday, August 12th, with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is a confused 3ft from the NW with a 6-second period. The days after that are just tiny and wind-battered again.
There isn’t a single standout session here. Everything is either too small, too short-period, or blown out. With the beach and reef setup at Pors Ar Ville and this weak windswell, it honestly looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard right now. We gotta wait for the real groundswell and a clean window.
Keep the wax warm. Rusty.
