Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Porsmilin is giving us over the next couple of weeks.
The reality is, the forecast starts with a big, fat zero. The first real wave to chase isn’t until Sunday the 19th. From Monday the 13th through Saturday the 18th, it’s flat and poor, with no worthwhile options.
The first sign of life hits on Sunday the 19th of July. The morning is tiny with just 0.3 ft, but the afternoon brings a pulse of 5 ft swell from the northwest, period of 7 seconds. The wind goes offshore from the NNE at 19 mph, so it’ll be clean. It’s a short-period windswell, so don’t expect glassy perfection, and 5 ft might be a bit punchy for beginners. The energy sits at a moderate 287 combined.
After that, we go through a mix of ordinary days. Monday the 20th drops back to 1.0 ft in the morning but keeps a clean NE offshore breeze at 12 mph. For the rest of the week, we see a slow build with clean conditions and offshore or cross-off winds, but the swell hangs around 3 ft to 4 ft from the northwest with short periods. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Now, lock in Monday the 27th of July. This is the one. Porsmilin is forecast to see a solid 10 ft swell from the west with a 10-second period. The wind is a glassy offshore from the NNE at just 3 mph. The combined energy is a massive 1446—that’s serious power. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers only; that size is no joke. It’s a long-range call, so take it with a grain of salt, but it’s the clear standout of the outlook.
Tuesday the 28th still has a clean 5 ft from the WNW with a light offshore, making for very good conditions. A great backup day if the 27th is too heavy.
So, we’ve got a flat start, a long stretch of small but clean average waves, and two clear highlights: the punchy afternoon on the 19th, and the absolute standout on Monday the 27th. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
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.
