The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a pretty quiet picture for Porsmilin over the next week or so, with a bit of a wait for the real action.
The water temperature is sitting at 65°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first few days are pretty lackluster, I’m not gonna lie. Tuesday the 28th of July is the best of a very small bunch. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds, pushing a moderate 232 units of energy. It’s not big, but the morning is glassy, dead calm, and that’s a major positive. The afternoon stays clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell drops to 3ft. It’s surfable, but only just.
From Wednesday the 29th through to Monday the 10th of August, things go flat and ugly. The swell drops right off, mostly below 2ft, and the wind is a mess – onshore, cross-onshore, or just too strong. There’s a string of "poor surf conditions" in the data, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it. You’d be wasting your time. There’s a brief pulse of moderate energy (125-143 units) on the 10th, but it’s coming with a southerly onshore wind, so it’s another no-go.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The real standout is a pulse arriving on Wednesday the 12th of August. The morning session is the one to circle. We’re looking at a solid 7ft swell from the west, with an 8-second period and a whopping 1232 units of combined energy. That’s a spike of strong wave energy. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the NW, and it’s described as “expect very good surf conditions.” This is for experienced surfers only though – 7ft is above the beginner-friendly zone, and the short period (8 seconds) will mean it’s a bit punchy and steep. It’s a sandbar break, so it should handle the power, but it will be a handful. The afternoon of the 12th still has the size at 7ft, but the wind picks up to 16 mph, and the energy drops, making it less appealing.
Basically, for the next 10 days, save your energy. The only real window is the morning of the 12th of August. Mark it and hope the long-range forecast holds.
Rusty.
