The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Pors Ar Ville has in store for us. Straight up, it's a tough stretch ahead. The next two and a bit weeks are looking pretty bleak, and we've got a long gap of nothing worth getting wet for.
Right now, the water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, no big drama there.
The week kicks off with a total dud. From Saturday the 15th right through to Monday the 18th, we're looking at tiny, weak, and messy conditions. Swells are between 1ft and 3ft, mostly short-period windswell with poor directional wind, and the combined energy is weak, barely cracking 142 at the best of it. Not worth paddling out for. There’s a bit of a pick-up on Thursday the 20th, with the swell hitting 4ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, and the wind goes clean and cross-off. The energy hits 242 (moderate). It's still not great, but it's the most surf-worthy of a bad lot. The break is a beach and reef setup, exposed and consistent, but for a spot that needs a good WNW direction, this is about as average as it gets. It's still not a standout, just the least bad option for an advanced surfer who’s desperate.
After that, from Friday the 21st onwards, it all just falls apart again. Swell drops off, winds turn onshore or strong cross, and by the time we hit the 23rd and beyond, we’re looking at tiny 1.0ft to 2ft waves with fresh onshore wind. The combined energy is a pathetic 14 to 40, and the period is short. There’s a slight, very slight tease on the 30th of August with a 4ft swell from the west, but the wind is cross-onshore again and the energy hits 190, but given the 16-day range, that's a long way off and not something to bank on. Honestly, for a spot that can be consistent, this is a blank run that feels normal for this time of year. The set-up is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing through most of this.
Rusty.
