The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Porsmilin has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. We’ve got tiny, weak waves and poor conditions hanging around from Friday the 24th right through the weekend. It’s not until Monday the 27th that things start to look up. That morning, the wind is glassy, and the swell picks up to a clean 5ft from the WNW, with moderate wave energy (470). It’s a solid start to the week. The period is 10 seconds, so it’s a decent groundswell with some shape to it. Monday afternoon stays clean but the wind picks up a touch, so get on it first thing.
Tuesday the 28th morning is glassy again, but the swell drops to 3ft and the energy is down to 180. It’s surfable, but ordinary. The rest of Tuesday and Wednesday are clean but small, with the swell sitting around 3ft. Nothing to get too excited about.
Thursday the 30th is flat and weak, with energy down in the double digits. Friday the 31st is a mess, with onshore winds and a jumpy, short-period swell. Avoid it.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Saturday the 1st of August has a clean 5ft WNW swell rolling in with a solid 11-second period and strong wave energy (856). The morning is the pick, with a light breeze and cross-off wind. This is a proper standout for the period. The swell is a good size for intermediates, and the direction is spot on for Porsmilin’s optimum from the SW.
Sunday the 2nd of August is the big one. We’re looking at an 8ft WNW groundswell with a very long 11-second period and massive energy (1597). This is for experienced surfers only – it’s too big for beginners. The morning is clean with a slight air, but it’s a lot of power. This setup is better for a point or reef, but at this sandbar, expect some serious walls. The crowds are a possibility here, so keep that in mind.
Monday the 3rd of August still has a healthy 6ft WNW swell and moderate offshore winds in the morning, making for excellent conditions. Energy is still high (1058). Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th taper off, with the swell dropping to 5ft and then 4ft, and the wind staying clean. The last few days of the outlook from the 6th onward are a mix of poor conditions, onshore winds, and short-period junk.
The water temperature is sitting at 63°F, which is about average for this time of year at Porsmilin. No major anomaly to report.
Overall, the clear standout is Monday the 27th of July morning for a glassy, clean start, and Saturday the 1st of August morning for the best combo of size, power, and clean conditions. If you’re an expert, Sunday the 2nd of August morning is the one to chase, but it’s a beast.

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.
