The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on the surf for Pors Ar Ville.
Alright, so it’s going to be a pretty slow start for the next couple of days, no point pretending otherwise. The good news is things look like they’re going to wake up properly by the end of the weekend.
The first solid call should be Sunday morning, the 30th of August. That’s when things start to look right. We’ll have a 5ft swell, clean from the WNW with a moderate offshore breeze, so the lineup should actually look like a real surf break for a bit. It won't be huge, but it’s the spark we’re waiting for. The water is 66°, a touch warmer than normal, so you’ll be fine without a hood.
Now, if you want the real standout of this outlook, you need to look at Monday, the 31st of August. The morning will see a strong pulse of energy (970) in the water with a solid 7ft WNW swell at 10 seconds. That is proper groundswell, meaning waves with shape and punch. It’s cross-off from the WNW and clean as a whistle, so it’s got that classic clean look all the way down the beach and reef. This is going to be the pick of the week for the better surfers. The afternoon drops a touch to 6ft, but still clean and with good energy.
Lean into Saturday morning, 5th of September, too. It might be smaller, at a bit over 4ft, but you get a light breeze and clean conditions. The energy is moderate (217), and for a relaxed session in good waves, it’ll be the easiest hour you’ll spend in the water. Just be aware the crowds are described as "sometimes" here, so it won't be empty.
And way out there, pushing into the second week, the call for Monday, the 7th of September, is a bit of a wildcard. That afternoon shows a strange 5ft swell out of the WNW, but the period is a short, weak 7 seconds. It’s cross-off with a light wind, so it could clean up, but don’t peg your life on it just yet. Things are touch-and-go that far out.
Honestly, outside of a few of those jumbled days in the middle, the rest of the window looks small or messy. After that Monday the 7th, it drops off real fast into early September, with a gap of quiet, tiny conditions until the 12th when it barely gets its head above water.
Keep the Sunday 30th in your diary, but push hard for the Monday 31st of August. That’s your session.
