Pors Ar Ville Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with the long-range outlook for Pors Ar Ville.

We're looking at a bit of a slow start this week, but there's some fun stuff brewing for the weekend and beyond. The water is sitting at 65°F, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner suit.

The best bet on the table is Friday morning, the 11th of September. We've got a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a solid 10-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 363, and with a light cross-offshore breeze, it should set up pretty well for an advanced crew. It’s not a day for beginners as it's pushing towards that bigger side, but for anyone comfortable, it's the standout window.

The following morning, Saturday the 12th, drops back to 3ft, but it stays clean with a cross-offshore breeze. The energy drops to 126, so it'll be weak, but if you're after a small-wave cruise, it's an option.

Sunday the 13th sees the swell bump back up to 5ft from the WNW, period stretching out to 11 seconds, giving us a moderate energy reading of 452. The wind is cross-offshore again, so it should be lined up, but the forecast notes it as marginal, so tides might be a factor. Worth a look though.

Monday the 14th morning is glassy with 3ft, but the wave comment says poor, so don't expect much.

After that, we hit a bit of a dry patch. Tuesday the 15th afternoon gets a 5ft cross-shore wind swell, but the onshore kick at 19 mph makes it messy. Wednesday the 16th pushes up to 7ft from the WNW, but with cross-onshore winds, the energy might be high at 604 and 804, but the quality is shot – that’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.

Things start to look up again on Thursday morning, the 17th of September. We're back to 4ft with a clean cross-offshore breeze and a good 10-second period, energy at 353. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and fun.

Moving into the second week, there’s a promising signal for Thursday the 24th morning – a 5ft swell from the WNW with a very short 6-second period, energy at 268. It’s clean, but that short period means it might be a bit crumbly. The real eye-catcher is Friday the 25th morning: a solid 8ft swell from the WNW with a very long 14-second period, combined energy absolutely pumping at 2438. That’s a big groundswell. It’s going to be powerful, and with that long period, it’ll be best on the points or reefs, not so much the beach. It's only for experts at that size. The wind is cross-onshore, so it might be a bit bumpy, but the raw energy is undeniable. Keep an eye on that one, but it's a long way out, so don't book the time off just yet.

All in all, Friday the 11th is your best early call, with that potential monster on the 25th as the long-range promise.

Rusty.
