Alright, I’ve chewed on the numbers for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta tell you, it’s a real bummer for Porsmilin. The swell window is locked up, and we’re looking at a long, flat spell that’s gonna test your patience. The water is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable on the beach while you’re staring at nothing.
The first glimmer of anything rideable is on Thursday the 10th in the morning. We’ve got a weak 3ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy is moderate (162). The wind is a light easterly, cross-offshore, so it’ll be glassy, but the waves are just ordinary. After that, it’s a downhill slide. From Friday the 11th all the way through to the 24th of July, the surf is pathetic – mostly ankle to knee-high, with the swell height dropping to 1ft and the combined energy falling into the weak double digits (like 12 or 20). The winds are mostly cross-off, so it’s clean, but there’s just no power.
The one standout, if you can even call it that, is late in the run on Wednesday the 22nd of July during the morning. We get a bump of 5ft from the NW, but the period is a short 6 seconds, meaning it’s steep, crumbly, and pretty weak for its size. The wind is a fresh offshore from the north, which will keep it clean, but the energy is moderate (184) and the waves are still described as poor. It’s not a beginner wave at that size, but it’s hardly pumping for experts either. Honestly, the whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this period.
Signing off, Rusty.

Information about the Porsmilin Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Porsmilin provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Porsmilin can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Porsmilin surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Porsmilin) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Porsmilin may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
