Porsmilin Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Porsmilin is giving us over the next couple of weeks.

The reality is, the forecast starts with a big, fat zero. The first real wave to chase isn’t until Sunday the 19th. From Monday the 13th through Saturday the 18th, it’s flat and poor, with no worthwhile options.

The first sign of life hits on Sunday the 19th of July. The morning is tiny with just 0.3 ft, but the afternoon brings a pulse of 5 ft swell from the northwest, period of 7 seconds. The wind goes offshore from the NNE at 19 mph, so it’ll be clean. It’s a short-period windswell, so don’t expect glassy perfection, and 5 ft might be a bit punchy for beginners. The energy sits at a moderate 287 combined.

After that, we go through a mix of ordinary days. Monday the 20th drops back to 1.0 ft in the morning but keeps a clean NE offshore breeze at 12 mph. For the rest of the week, we see a slow build with clean conditions and offshore or cross-off winds, but the swell hangs around 3 ft to 4 ft from the northwest with short periods. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

Now, lock in Monday the 27th of July. This is the one. Porsmilin is forecast to see a solid 10 ft swell from the west with a 10-second period. The wind is a glassy offshore from the NNE at just 3 mph. The combined energy is a massive 1446—that’s serious power. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers only; that size is no joke. It’s a long-range call, so take it with a grain of salt, but it’s the clear standout of the outlook.

Tuesday the 28th still has a clean 5 ft from the WNW with a light offshore, making for very good conditions. A great backup day if the 27th is too heavy.

So, we’ve got a flat start, a long stretch of small but clean average waves, and two clear highlights: the punchy afternoon on the 19th, and the absolute standout on Monday the 27th. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.

Rusty.
