Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, I’m looking at this and it’s a bit of a rough patch for Porsmilin. The whole 16-day haul is pretty thin on genuine quality. We’ve got small, weak swell and a lot of mediocre conditions. The first recommendation isn’t until Monday, the 6th of July, so there’s a bit of a gap right at the start with nothing to write home about.

The best window we’ve got is right at the beginning. Monday morning, the 6th of July, is the pick of the whole run. It’s tiny, just 3ft from the WNW with an 8-second period, but the wind is glassy – dead calm. That’s a major positive. The combined energy is weak (107), so it’s not going to be powerful, but it’ll be clean. The water is sitting at 64°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus for a paddle.

After that morning, it’s a real grind. Tuesday through to Sunday, the 7th to the 12th, is mostly tiny, weak stuff with average winds. Wednesday morning, the 8th, pops up with 3ft and a better 10-second period, and glassy conditions again, but it’s still just surfable, not exciting. The swell direction is from the WNW, which is what Porsmilin likes, but the size just isn’t there.

Then we hit a dead zone. From Monday, the 13th, through to Friday, the 17th, it’s almost flat. The swell dips to 0.7ft and 1.0ft with moderate to fresh offshore winds. The combined energy is pitiful (7 to 35). You’d be better off doing something else unless you’ve got a longboard and a lot of patience.

The only other time the swell shows some life is on the weekend of the 18th and 19th of July. We get a jump to 4ft to 7ft from the NW, but it’s short-period windswell at 6 to 8 seconds. The combined energy ramps up to moderate (191 to 634), so there’s some push. But the problem is the wind. It’s cross-off from the NNW at 16 to 25 mph. That’s going to be messy and choppy. The surf report even calls it “poor surf conditions” the whole time. For a sandbar break like Porsmilin, with that much wind and that kind of short-period swell, it’s going to be a battle. It might actually be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer right now.

The tail end on Monday and Tuesday, the 20th and 21st, drops back to 4ft to 5ft, still with the same cross-off wind pattern. It’s clean but not clean enough to be a standout.

So, bottom line: the best wave you’re going to get is the Monday morning glass-off on the 6th of July. It’s not a world-class session, but it’s the only time the stars align for a clean, rideable wave. The rest is a long wait.

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.

Porsmilin is 11 km (7 miles) from the city of Camaret-sur-Mer. If you plan a holiday in Finistere - Brittany, look for hotels and other accommodation in Camaret-sur-Mer. Camaret-sur-Mer has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
