Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pors Ar Ville over the next 16 days.
Well, I gotta be straight with ya—this is a tough one. Pors Ar Ville is an exposed beach and reef setup that takes a good WNW groundswell, but for the next two weeks it’s mostly flat or blown out. We’re looking at a long dry spell here. From now, Thursday July 9th, right through to Thursday July 23rd, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is relentless from the NE and ENE for days—onshore, gusty, ruining any scraps of swell that show up. The swell heights hover around 0.4m to 0.9m, and the combined energy is weak, mostly between 19 and 149. It’s just not happening. Plus, the water temp is sitting at 18°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s no waves.
Now, there is a flicker of hope right at the very end of the forecast. On Friday morning, July 24th, we finally get a pulse. The swell jumps to 1.6m from the WNW, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 234—moderate energy at last. And the wind? It’s light WNW, cross-offshore and clean. That’s the standout window. It’s still only a 2 out of 10 on the quality scale because the period is short, making it a bit weak and crumbly for an exposed spot like this, but it’s the best we’ve got. The break is consistent but only for advanced surfers—when it’s over 1.5m, beginners might struggle. Crowds are sometimes here, so you might have company. That Friday morning is your only real chance. The afternoon drops off again with onshore wind and a marginal rating.
Between now and then, it’s a big gap of 15 days with nothing. That’s a tough stretch. But hey, forecasts can change, and the break does get consistent swell sometimes—just not this time.
