The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks for Porsmilin are a tough one to stomach. We’ve got a long dry spell ahead where the ocean just isn’t playing the game.
The whole 16-day run starts off flat and frustrating. From Tuesday the 14th all the way through to the morning of Wednesday the 29th, it’s a desert out there. We are talking about two whole weeks with nothing worth paddling out for. The combined energy is weak, barely making it past 50 or 60 (in the 30-94 range), and the swell heights are stuck at a pathetic 1ft to 2ft for most of that. The period is mostly short, between 7 and 11 seconds, which means no real punch in the waves. The wind does go offshore or cross-off frequently, and we even get a glassy morning on Sunday the 19th, but it’s all wasted on waves that are just not there.
Then, finally, a pulse of real swell arrives on Wednesday the 29th. We see a jump in combined energy up to 529 – a moderate energy event – with a 6ft swell from the West at a 10-second period. That’s the one bright spot in the entire window. However, those waves aren't for everyone. At 6ft, it’s getting too big for beginners, and the wind is onshore from the Southwest, which will mess up the surface. The forecast flags it as marginal. For the experienced crew, it’s something to watch, but don’t expect perfection.
Frankly, if you are kite surfing, the choppy, wind-affected conditions on the 24th and 25th might look more attractive than paddle surfing. That 6ft swell on the 29th is the only true standout, but it’s a long way off and the conditions look messy.
Rusty, signing off.

A general guide to surfing at Porsmilin can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
