Porsmilin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. Over the next 16 days, we’ve got a long stretch of flat or near‑flat conditions at Porsmilin, with only one real window where things come together. That window is a beauty, but you’ll need to be patient and ready for a short‑lived, expert‑only pulse.

From now through Sunday 27 July, the swell is tiny – we’re talking 0.7ft to 1ft at best, with weak, short‑period energy. Winds are mostly cross‑offshore or light, but there’s simply no power to work with. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is about average for this time of year (about 2° above normal – nothing wild). So you’re looking at a solid week of nothing doing. Don’t bother paddling out.

Then Monday 28 July morning changes everything. The swell jumps to 8ft from the WNW with a 10‑second period – that’s groundswell, solid and punchy. The combined energy is a beefy 1326, so there’s plenty of push. Wind is light offshore from the NNE at 6 mph, making it glassy clean. That’s the standout. But here’s the catch: 8ft is well into expert territory – if you’re not comfortable with overhead waves, sit this one out. The break is a sandbar, fairly consistent, and with the right direction (WNW, not the optimum SW) it’ll still offer some good lines. Crowds are possible – it’s “sometimes” busy, so you might have company. The afternoon fades a bit – still 8ft but wind shifts to cross‑offshore, a little lumpier.

After that, the swell drops quickly. Tuesday 29 July morning sees 4ft with offshore wind, but it’s ordinary – not worth the drive. From there it’s back to the doldrums through to 3 August, with onshore winds and messy, small surf. The only real chance is that Monday 28 July morning. Set your alarm, paddle out early, and enjoy the clean, powerful lines while they last.
