The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Porsmilin. It’s going to be a lean run for the next couple of weeks, with a lot of flat spells to sit through. The good news is that the opening days have just enough to get wet, but don't expect any kind of classic long-period groundswell.
First option is on Monday, July 27. The weekend surf on Sunday is just a write-off with a messy, short-period 5ft at 7 seconds from the WNW – that’s coupled with a stiff 16 mph cross-shore wind. The combined energy is weak (279), and honestly, the conditions are poor. Forget it.
Monday morning is where we get our first real look. The swell settles a touch to 6ft from the WNW, but the period lengthens to 10 seconds, which is a nice step up. It's pushing decent energy into the 500’s (553). The wind is the real hero here: a gentle 9 mph cross-offshore from the NW. This means clean waves at this sandbar, with the wind holding the faces open. It’s an intermediate wave today, and the consistency is fairly good. Crowds are always a possibility here, so expect some company. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is pretty average for late July, nothing unusual there. The afternoon holds too, but the wind picks up a touch, making the morning the pick.
Tuesday, July 28, morning still has some clean cross-off wind from the east, but the swell drops off quickly to only 3ft. Energy drops to 196. It's surfable, but pretty ordinary. The afternoon is similar.
Then comes the big gap. From Wednesday, July 29 right through to about Sunday, August 2, it goes almost totally flat. Swell heights drop below 3ft, the energy drops into the double digits or low triple digits, and the wind direction is frequently onshore or cross-on. There is nothing surfable worth chasing.
We get a small blip on Tuesday, August 4 afternoon. A very short-period (6 sec) 5ft spike from the WNW rushes in with 206 energy, but it’s accompanied by a 16 mph cross-onshore wind that will turn it into a lumpy, choppy mess. Not for paddling. That’s more of a kite-surfing energy than a surfing one.
Wednesday, August 5, briefly holds a 6ft swell with 337 energy, but again, the wind is a tricky 16 mph cross-onshore. It looks ugly. After that, Thursday, August 6, morning offers a bit of relief with a cleaner 4ft swell and some cross-off wind, but it's very ordinary.
The only real standout, if you want to call it that, remains Monday, July 27 morning. That’s the window. A decent swell size, a solid period, and clean offshore or cross-offshore winds. It’s not epic, but for this 16-day stretch, that’s our best bet.
For the rest of the second week, it’s more of the same dryness. Friday and Saturday, August 7 and 8, are flat. And the final calls on August 9 and 10 show a slight uptick to 3ft from the west with a long 11 second period (239 energy) on Sunday morning, but the energy is still a bit lacking. It’s promising, but not certain.
Stay patient. We might get a few fun ones if the trends hold, but don’t plan any road trips around it yet.

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.
