The Lowdown
Alright, let's get to it, folks. Rusty here.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Porsmilin. For the majority of the next couple of weeks, the swell is on the small side, with clean conditions but just not enough power to make it worthwhile. There is a spike in size towards the end of the first week that looks like the only real chance to get wet.
The first week is mostly a write-off. Through Monday the 20th and into the weekend, we’re looking at tiny waves in the 0.7ft to 1ft range. Winds are mostly offshore or cross-offshore, keeping the water clean, but there's just no power. You’ll be paddling more than surfing. The water temp is 64°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but honestly, with waves this small, you won’t be in the water long enough to notice. There’s a glassy session on the morning of Thursday the 23rd, but again, it’s only 1.0ft. On Saturday the 25th, a bit of cross-shore wind and cloudy skies.
Now, Sunday the 26th is where it gets interesting. A jump to 6ft in the morning and 6ft by the afternoon, coming from the WNW, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined energy for that afternoon jumps to 486 (moderate wave energy). It’s a bit short-period, so it won't have that groundswell punch, but it'll be a lot of fun on the sandbar. The wind is cross-offshore from the NNW, which will keep it clean. This is your best bet in the whole outlook, but it’s going to be a fairly raw, bumpy ride. It’s not huge, so it’s good for intermediates, and the crowds are sometimes an issue here. If you can get out early, that’s your window.
The days after that drop back down. Monday the 27th has 4-5ft, with cross-shore winds making it a bit messy. That session is rated as marginal. The rest of the second week, from Tuesday the 28th onward, is all small again, between 2ft and 3ft, with clean but weak conditions. Nothing else stands out as a must-surf session.
So to sum it up: suffer through the tiny stuff all week, and make Sunday the 26th your target. That’s the one to chase.

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.

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.
