The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up at Nordseeklinik Westerland on Sylt.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run for the next week and a half. The North Sea is just not playing ball for a paddle surfer. We’ve got nothing but "poor surf conditions" stamped all over the forecast until the 22nd of August. That’s over a week with no real recommendations. The swell that does show up is either too small, onshore, or blown out by strong winds. You’ll see a bit of energy kick up around the 17th and 20th, with combined swell energy hitting 440 and 840 – that’s moderate to strong energy – but the wind is onshore and strong, making it a mess. For a beach break like this, that’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean surfing one. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about 1° above average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The first real glimmer of hope comes right at the end of the window. On Saturday, the 22nd of August, we finally get a proper window. The morning sees a light offshore breeze from the SE at 9 mph, with a small 3 ft NW swell and a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 63, but the conditions are clean. Then the afternoon glassies right off – wind drops to nothing from the NE, with 3 ft of NW swell. It’s not going to be a classic, but it’s the only time in the whole outlook where the wind is actually working for you. The surf is very ordinary, but at least you won’t be fighting a gale.
Then it gets messy again. The 23rd and 24th see some cross-offshore winds and a bump in size again on the 24th afternoon, with a 6 ft NW swell (period 7s) and clean conditions. The combined energy reads 279, which is moderate, and the forecast says "expect good surf conditions" for that afternoon. This is the standout of the whole run. It’s not huge, but after two weeks of junk, a clean, surfable 6 ft at Nordseeklinik Westerland is the best you’re going to get. The swell direction is NW, which matches the optimum from the west perfectly, and with a gentle breeze, it’ll be tidy. The crowds are listed as "sometimes" busy, so expect a few others out there, but it won’t be a zoo.
The 25th drops back down to ordinary, and the last few days of the window are back to onshore wind and poor conditions. If you’re desperate, the 24th afternoon is your only real target. The 22nd is a consolation prize for a glassy, small wave session.
Rusty out.
