The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer at Porsmilin over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it's a pretty quiet run ahead. We've got a solid 16-day window, but the first week or so is looking very slim. From Sunday the 9th right through to about the middle of the week after, the scores are mostly flat or just not worth paddling out for. There's a real gap there with no proper recommendations, so don't hold your breath for any early action.
The best of what we've got, and I mean the *best*, looks like it might be the morning of Saturday the 15th of August. Now, don't get too excited just yet – it's still a bit of a long-range call, so take it with a pinch of salt. But that morning, the swell is coming up to about 4 feet from the west with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW, so it should be pretty clean. The wave energy is moderate, sitting at around 182. It's not a classic day of perfection, but it's the closest we get to something surfable in this window.
The other one to file away, again with the caveat that it's a way off, is the following morning, Sunday the 16th of August. The wind is proper offshore from the north at 12 mph, and the swell is 4 feet from the WNW. The period drops to 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit shorter and steeper, but the offshore wind will make it look a lot better than the height suggests. Again, moderate energy at 186.
For pretty much everything else, the combination of tiny swell, poor conditions, or just plain flat spells makes it a tough call. Water temp is 64°, which is spot on normal for this time of year, nothing unusual there. It's a waiting game, lads.
Signing off, 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.
