The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Porsmilin. I’ve looked through the next 16 days and, honestly, there’s nothing that gets me excited. The whole stretch from now through early August is a write‑off for decent waves. You’ve got tiny knee‑high slop most of the time – swell heights hovering around 0.7 ft to 1 ft, with a few pulses up to 4 ft late in the month, but even then the wind is messy or the period is too short to hold shape. The energy numbers back it up: most days the combined swell energy sits below 50, a few hit triple‑digits like 140 or 154, but even those come with cross‑shore winds that chop things up.
The only sessions that even sniff “surfable” are the mornings of 27 July, 28 July, 1 August, and 2 August. Early on the 27th, there’s about 4 ft of swell from the WNW with a 8‑second period and light northwest wind – that gives clean, ordinary waves. Next morning, 28 July, a bit smaller at 3 ft from the NW, period 10 seconds, with light north offshore – clean but again nothing special. Come 1 August morning, you’ve got 4 ft from the NW, 10 seconds, light north‑northwest breeze. And 2 August morning is the closest to glassy – swell 3 ft from the WNW, period 9 seconds, with a slight air. But all of these are rated as very ordinary. The water temperature is about 63°F, pretty normal for this time of year.
Porsmilin itself is a sandbar break, fairly consistent, best with a SW swell, but we’re getting NW and WNW swells – not ideal. It can get crowded sometimes, and the winds are mostly cross‑off or offshore, but the waves just aren’t there. There are no real standouts in this 16‑day window. If you’re desperate, the morning of 2 August looks the least bad – glassy, clean, but only 3 ft. Otherwise, save the gas.

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.
