The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next 16 days for Pors Ar Ville. The honest truth is, this is a tough stretch. The forecast is basically a long, flat spell with a few flickers of life way out near the end. For the first two weeks, it’s going to be a real struggle to find anything rideable, so don’t get your hopes up for some quick action.
The opening days are a write-off. Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th are offering tiny, weak waves with poor wind. The combined swell energy is barely registering, with values like 100 and 77 – that’s weak, mushy stuff. The wind is all over the place, cross and cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. Saturday the 8th through to the middle of the following week are even worse, with swell heights barely breaking 1.0 ft to 2 ft. It’s flat, flat, flat. You’ll be staring at a glassy sea on the 19th with a 1 ft wave, but it’s essentially a lake.
We finally see a bit of life around Thursday the 20th of August. The morning shows a 4 ft swell from the WNW, with a clean cross-offshore wind from the west at 16 mph. The combined energy jumps to 212 (moderate energy), which is the most we’ve seen in the whole outlook. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a short-period windswell, but the clean conditions might make it just about surfable for a dedicated soul. The 21st of August has a similar 4 ft swell from the NW, but the wind turns cross-shore, creating some chop.
Given the lack of quality and the persistent poor conditions, the only time I’d even consider paddling out is the morning of the 20th of August. It’s not a standout for the history books, but it’s the only faint glimmer of hope in a very bleak forecast. The rest of the time, it’s a kite surfer’s paradise or a good excuse to go for a long walk on the beach.
Stay patient, and keep checking the forecasts. Things can change.
Rusty.
