The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Grab a cuppa, let's have a look at the next couple of weeks for Porsmilin.
Right off the bat, it's a pretty bleak picture for the sandbar here. The first week-and-a-half is a write-off—there's barely a ripple worth paddling for. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1.0ft to 1ft, and the combined energy of all swells is weak, sitting at less than 100 for most of that time. You'll be rocking on your board waiting for a knee-high lump that's just not happening. The wind is often clean, but there's no power behind it. A real frustrating start, that's for sure.
Things finally start to show a pulse on Sunday the 26th. The swell picks up to 4ft in the morning, jumping to a moderate 5ft by the afternoon, with a combined energy of 413. The morning sets will have some push with a 7-second period, but that's short-period wind chop, and it's a bit messy. The wind is cross-off from the NNW, so it'll be clean, but the quality is still pretty poor. This is the only real window of increased size, but it's not clean enough to call a standout.
By Monday the 27th, the swell is hanging in at 6ft from the WNW, with a 9-second period and a combined energy of 466. That's moderate wave energy, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the NW. It's surfable, but it's ordinary. The period is just long enough to have some shape, but it's not the kind of day you'd set the alarm for. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing wild to report.
After that little pulse, it fades again. Tuesday the 28th has a 4ft morning with a combined energy of 216, still clean, but it's back to weak and ordinary. From Wednesday the 29th onwards, it's back to the same story: small, weak swell under 3ft, with energy dropping back to double digits. The wind stays clean for a bit, but the ocean is just not giving us anything.
Overall, there's simply no standout day in this 16-day window. The only real bump in size is that Sunday through Monday, but the quality is poor, and the wind is fresh, making it look more interesting for a kite session than a paddle session. For a spot that's "fairly consistent," it's a disappointing run. But hey, it won't stay poor forever, and forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it.
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.
