The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m looking at the forecast for Pors Ar Ville, and honestly, it’s a tough outlook. We’re staring down a real dry spell, lads. The whole 16-day window is a struggle. There’s a massive gap of no surf worth mentioning right from the start, and it's not until we get way out to Saturday the 8th of August that anything even flickers to life. Even then, it’s not exactly going to get the heart pumping.
From Thursday the 30th of July all the way through to the morning of Saturday the 8th of August, it’s a ghost town. Tiny waves, wrong winds, and just plain poor surf conditions. You’d be wasting your time and energy. The combined swell energy barely cracks double digits for most of it, just sitting there weak as anything.
Now, Saturday the 8th of August morning finally sees a pulse. We get clean conditions with a light breeze and a cross-offshore wind from the WNW. Swell is a tiny 2.3ft out of the west, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is still only moderate at (79). It’s small, but it’s the cleanest we’ve seen in over a week. The afternoon holds a bit more size at 2.6ft from the west, period at 9 seconds, and the energy bumps to (113). But the wind goes cross-shore, so there’ll be a bit of chop on it. Still, this Saturday is the standout, the only real chance to get wet for the whole 16 days.
After that, it goes back downhill. Sunday the 9th of August has clean cross-off winds but tiny 1.6ft waves. By Monday the 10th of August morning, we get a bump to 3.6ft from the NW, but the period is a short 6 seconds. It’s a messy, wind-driven swell with cross-off winds. Energy is moderate at (95). For a beach and reef setup like Pors Ar Ville, that short-period, choppy stuff is more of a kite-surfing affair than a proper paddle session.
So, there you have it. A lean forecast. The only real window is Saturday the 8th, and even then, keep your expectations low. It’s been a quiet run.
