The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on offer for Porsmilin over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, if you're looking for a surf session, you're going to have to be patient. The entire first week and a half is a total bust. From Monday the 13th right through to Sunday the 26th of July, the wave heights are consistently tiny, between 0.7ft and 2.6ft. The combined energy is weak, often under 100 (8 to 94), and the forecasting is calling it "poor surf conditions" across the board. There's simply no rideable swell on the table. It's a long, flat stretch.
The only glimmer of hope comes right at the end of the window. On Monday the 27th of July, the swell finally starts to show some life, but it's still no good. The wind is cross-onshore, and the waves are messy and choppy. Not a good call.
Now, Tuesday the 28th of July is where things get interesting. The swell fills in properly, with the morning showing a solid 6.2ft swell from the west. The combined energy jumps to a strong 636 and the wind goes dead calm (glass), making for what could be some clean, glassy conditions. The problem? That swell period is only 7 seconds. That's short-period, wind-swell energy, so it's going to be a bit of a bumpy, close-out mess at the Porsmilin sandbar.
The Best Bet: If you're an experienced surfer who can handle a bit of a washing machine, Tuesday morning, the 28th of July at Porsmilin is the only real standout. You’ve got 6.2ft of swell with glassy conditions. The downside is that with that short period, it'll be a bit of a grind, but it's the only time the energy is high (636) and the wind is perfect. Expect it to be a bit powerful and tricky, so definitely not for beginners. The water temperature is 65.5°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The afternoon on the 28th sees the wind pick up a little, making it a bit cross-shore, so the morning is the window.

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.
