Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Porsmilin over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ll be straight with you – this is a grim outlook. We’re looking at a long, empty run with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The first few days have a little height on the board, but the conditions just aren’t coming together. We start on Thursday morning, July 9, with a small 3 ft swell from the WNW, period around 10 seconds. The wind is offshore from the NE, so Porsmilin’s sandbar will be clean. The combined energy is a weak 132, meaning there’s very little punch behind it. The morning might give you a few grovelly ones, but the afternoon sees the wind jumping to 22 mph from the NNE, and the waves drop to 3 ft with only 118 energy – a raw deal.
Friday, July 10, the swell bumps up to 3 ft from the WNW, but it’s got a short 9-second period and the wind swings cross-offshore from the ENE. The energy nudges up to 163 – still weak. The report says “poor surf conditions” and I have to agree; it’s small, short-period, and the wind isn’t perfect.
From Saturday, July 11, through to the end of the forecast, the waves just shrink away. We’re looking at heights dropping from 3 ft down to 1 ft or even 0.3 ft by late July. The combined energy drops into the double digits – mostly between 8 and 96 – which is really weak surf. The wind does go offshore on a few occasions, like Sunday morning July 12 with a strong 25 mph from the NE, but at 1 ft it’s barely surfable. That strong breeze would make it a tough paddle for next to nothing.
There’s a brief uptick in period on Monday afternoon, July 13, with a 6-second swell and a light offshore, but it’s only 3 ft and the energy is a feeble 96. Then on Tuesday morning, July 14, we have a 2 ft WSW swell with a 6-second period and cross-shore wind – all wrong.
The rest of the run into late July is a flat, bumpy mess. Waves stay at or below 1 ft, with cross-shore or cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions. The energy barely gets above 30, and on several days it’s in the single digits. There’s nothing here to get excited about – no standouts, no hidden gems.
Honestly, for a sandbar like Porsmilin, this stretch is what a dry spell looks like. It’s not unusual for the area to go quiet, but that doesn’t make it any easier. Hang in there, check back – forecasts change.

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.
