The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. Looking at Pors Ar Ville (beach and reef) over the next couple weeks, it’s not a straight run of glory, but there are some windows that’ll get you out of bed early.
There’s a bit of a lull right at the start. Wednesday afternoon shows 5ft swell from the WNW at 9 seconds, but with cross-shore wind and marginal conditions, you’re better off waiting. Thursday morning brings clean offshore wind on a smaller 3ft swell, but the energy is weak (117) and the surf quality is poor.
Friday morning on the 11th is where it perks up. The swell pushes to 5ft from the WNW with a 10-second period, clean with light cross-offshore breeze, and the energy sits at a solid 370 – moderate but punchy. Water temp is around 65°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
The standout of the first week is Sunday the 13th morning. We’ve got 5ft groundswell from the WNW at 10 seconds, cross-offshore wind, and energy jumps to 531 – strong and well-formed. This is the one to circle. Pors Ar Ville is exposed to the WNW and the waves will have good shape. Crowds can show up sometimes here, so that’s something to keep in mind.
Monday the 14th morning is glassy on a smaller 3ft swell – fine for a quiet paddle. The rest of that week is mostly mediocre, with a size spike on Wednesday the 16th: 7ft swell from the WNW but with fresh cross-offshore winds and marginal conditions. At that size, it’s for experts only, and the setup might be better for kite surfing.
The second week builds again. Saturday the 19th morning brings a clean 3ft swell with offshore wind – small but clean. The standout in the later part is Sunday the 20th afternoon: 6ft swell from the WNW at 10 seconds, energy of 587, and a cross-offshore breeze. That’s a proper afternoon session and the best of the second week.
Monday the 21st shows 6ft from the NW but with cross-shore wind, so not as clean. Wednesday the 23rd morning is glassy on 4ft groundswell – could be a gem. Thursday the 24th morning also has a clean 4ft swell with good energy (352) and light cross-offshore wind.
Best bets: Sunday the 13th morning and Sunday the 20th afternoon. Both have solid swell, clean winds, and decent period. The rest is a mix of small or marginal, but there’s enough to work with.
Pick your windows, and don’t miss that Sunday groundswell.
