The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Porsmilin over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s gonna be a proper drought. There’s a long stretch of nothing from the start of the forecast all the way through to the morning of Monday, August 10th. That’s over a week of flat, weak, or just plain messy conditions. The charts are screaming "poor surf conditions" for days on end. You’ll see a few little bumps in the water, but they’re all tied to winds that are either onshore, cross, or just too strong to make it worthwhile. Honestly, it’s a write-off. The first glimmer of something decent doesn’t show up until Monday, August 10th, when the afternoon brings a 8ft swell from the W with a 12-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is a hefty 1705 (moderate). The wind is cross-off from the NW, so it’ll be clean. But the report says it’s "marginal," so don’t get too hyped – probably a tide issue or something.
Now, the real standout is the morning of Tuesday, August 11th. This is the one you wanna circle on the calendar. We’re looking at a 8ft swell from the WNW, with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 2323 (strong to very strong). The wind is a light breeze from the NW, which is cross-off and clean. That’s straight-up excellent surf for experienced surfers. This is a big one, so if you’re not a solid paddler, give it a miss. The setup is a sandbar, and it’s fairly consistent, which is a bonus. The water temp is about 64°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The afternoon of the 11th drops off a bit with a 7ft swell and clean winds, but it’s not the same quality. After that, we’re back to average conditions. So, the call is clear: wait for that Tuesday morning, August 11th. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but it’s the only real highlight in the whole window.

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.
