The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the same forecast, but in feet and miles per hour for those who think that way.
## Porsmilin (sandbar)
We’re looking at a quiet start. The first real opportunity doesn’t show up until the morning of Monday, 27 July. That’s a solid 5-day gap of nothing worth paddling out for.
On Monday morning, we finally get a pulse. Swell is about 5ft from the WNW, with a 9-second period. The energy is moderate (313). The wind is dead calm, glassy – a slight air. That’s going to make for some clean, smooth waves. The water temp is 63°, which is about average for this time of year. The swell direction is SW, and the spot is fairly exposed to the SW, so it’s catching the energy. This is your best bet for the whole 16 days. It’s not big, but for a clean, fun session, this is the one.
Monday afternoon gets a cross-off breeze, and the energy drops. Tuesday morning, 28 July, offers a smaller 3ft WNW swell with a nice offshore wind from the NNE, but it’s only surfable, not special. The rest of the week is small and poor.
Then we hit Saturday, 1 August. The swell jumps to 8ft from the W, with a 10-second period and a massive combined energy of 1037. That’s a strong, powerful swell. But the wind is onshore from the SW, and the conditions are poor. For a beach break, this is blown out and messy. Honestly, it looks more like a kite surfing day than a paddle surfing day.
Sunday, 2 August, has a 4ft W swell with cross-off winds and moderate energy (473). It’s marginal, and the tide may be a problem.
Into the second week, things fade. The morning of Monday, 3 August has a 3ft NW swell with a gentle offshore from the NE, which is clean but small. After that, it’s a slow decline into tiny, weak waves. So, to sum it up: your best shot is the glassy morning of Monday, 27 July. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or too uncertain.
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.
