Right, folks, Rusty here. This is a tough one to call. The outlook for Porsmilin is looking pretty lacklustre across the entire 16-day window. The forecast is stacked with "poor surf conditions" and low scores, so there's no real standout session to get excited about. We have a bit of a slow start, and it's a long stretch of ordinary to poor waves.
Let's be honest, the first week is a write-off. The best of a bad bunch comes on Wednesday morning, the 8th of July. We’ve got a small 3ft swell from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is light offshore from the N. That’s the cleanest window we’ll see, but the wave energy is still only moderate (109) and the comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions". It’s not terrible, but it’s not going to get the heart pumping. Thursday morning, the 9th, is similar with an offshore breeze and 3ft swell, but again, it’s just ordinary.
The water temperature is a touch warmer than normal at 64°F.
After that, things really fall away. We get a few days of tiny, weak swell under fresh cross-offshore winds, and then a tiny, long-period swell from the SW on the 13th, but it’s tiny at 0.3ft. The energy is pathetic (18). Not worth a paddle.
The second week is a desert. From the 14th of July right through to the 22nd of July, the forecast is all "poor surf conditions" with small, weak swells from various directions. There’s a brief moment on Saturday morning, the 18th of July, with glassy conditions and a 3ft swell from the WSW, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the comment again says "poor surf conditions". The wave energy is still weak (68). It's simply not worth the drive.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, Wednesday morning, the 8th, is the only window where you might get a couple of clean, waist-high runners if you’re patient. For the rest of the time, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the strong cross-offshore winds and small, unshaped swell. It’s a quiet, dull period for Porsmilin.
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.
