Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the surf forecast for Porsmilin over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you—it’s a bit of a grim picture for the most part, but let’s see if there’s a window worth paddling out.
We’ve got a bit of a wait for anything decent. The near future looks pretty flat and wind-affected. The first real sniff of a session hits us on Saturday morning, July 4th. The water there at Porsmilin is sitting at about 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year—nothing crazy, just a pleasant little anomaly.
Saturday morning, July 4th looks like the standout of the entire period. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the west with a 10-second period, giving us a moderate wave energy (267). The wind is a light N at 6 mph, blowing cross-offshore, which will keep the surface glassy. This is your best chance for fun, clean waves on the sandbar. Expect good surf conditions. The swell direction from the west matches up nicely with what this spot likes.
The rest of the forecast is a bit of a write-off. Saturday afternoon sees the wind pick up to a moderate 16 mph from the NNW, which ruins the shape. Sunday morning, July 5th, drops to a smaller 2ft swell with a 9-second period (154 energy). It’s surfable but very ordinary, and the wind is light offshore, so you’ll get some clean but tiny waves.
From Monday, July 6th, all the way through to Wednesday, July 15th, we’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions. There’s a bump of 6ft on Sunday, July 12th (358 energy), but it’s coming from the NW with a short 7-second period and windy cross-shore conditions—that’s a messy, choppy mess that’s more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session. The waves are too blown out. A few mornings here and there have light offshore winds, but the swell is consistently under 3ft and the energy is weak. The water temperature anomaly stays stable, but it doesn’t matter when the surf is flat.
Saturday, July 11th afternoon shows a 5ft swell (278 energy) but it’s from the WNW with a 7-second period and a strong cross-onshore wind—again, messy and not for paddling.
So, to summarise: Saturday morning, July 4th is the clear winner. Get out early for clean, waist-high waves with an offshore breeze. After that, it’s a long, dry spell of small, windy surf until perhaps Tuesday morning, July 14th shows a 4ft swell (305 energy) with cross-off winds, but the conditions are described as marginal. Not worth getting excited about. The rest of the week dries up again with drifting onshore winds and tiny 0.7 to 2ft waves.
Keep your eyes on the forecast, but for now, Saturday morning is your only real shot. Expect it to be quiet out there, but don’t sleep on it.
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.
