The Lowdown
Righto, grab a coffee and settle in. Rusty here, and I’ve had a good long look at what Port Bara has got cooking for the next couple of weeks. I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’re looking at a real dry spell for most of it, with only a couple of very brief windows where you might snag something rideable. Let’s break it down.
The overall pattern is weak and messy. For the first few days, right through the end of July and into the start of August, there’s barely a ripple. We’ve got tiny, short-period swell from the west, but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the wave comment cards are all reading “poor surf conditions.” It’s a flat spell. From the 23rd of July right through to the evening of the 1st of August, you’re looking at a solid 10-day gap where I wouldn’t bother paddling out. The combined energy is in the single digits or low double digits – weak stuff (8 to 32). The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, but that’s about the only interesting thing happening.
Now, there is a tiny glimmer. On the morning of Monday the 27th of July, the wind goes glassy. Swell is still only 3 ft from the west, with a 9-second period, but the combined energy bumps up to 130, which is moderate. The call is “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s about as good as it gets. Port Bara itself is a fairly consistent, intermediate spot exposed to a WSW swell. For that Monday morning, with glassy conditions, you could snag a few clean, small waves. It won’t be epic, but it’s the standout of the entire period. Crowds are possible here, so don’t be surprised if a few other keen locals have the same idea. The rest of that week is a write-off.
Looking further ahead, into the first week of August, there’s another potential flicker. On the morning of Thursday the 6th of August, we see a glassy morning again with a 2 ft, 10-second swell from the west. The combined energy is only 45, so weak, but it’s clean. The comment is again “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s a long-range call, so less certain, but worth keeping an eye on. That’s all she wrote.
Overall, this is a grim outlook. A blank run like this is more normal for the area when the conditions line up this way. If you’re desperate, the 27th of July morning is your only real bet. Otherwise, it’s time to find something else to do.

Information about the Port Bara Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Port Bara provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Port Bara can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Port Bara 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 (Port Bara) 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 Port Bara 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.
Port Bara is 32 km (20 miles) from the city of Lanester. If you plan a holiday in Morbihan - Brittany, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lanester. Lanester has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
