Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we're working with for the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you— it’s pretty grim out there.
We’re looking at Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt) for the whole stretch. The first real chance of any surf doesn't show up until the morning of Saturday the 5th of July, and even then, it's a rough one. We’ve got a 6 ft swell coming from the WNW with a short, weak 7-second period, but the wind is howling onshore at 25 mph from the NW. That’s a no-go. The wave energy is moderate at 247, but those conditions are just ugly. This wind stays nasty all through Sunday and Monday, pinning the waves down into a choppy, lumpy mess.
The 'best' of a bad bunch looks to be around Tuesday the 7th of July. The swell bumps up to 6 ft from the W, with that weak 7-second period, and wave energy climbing to 286. But again, the NW wind is still onshore at 16 mph. The afternoon of the 7th sees the swell hit 8 ft from the WNW, but with the wind still onshore, it’s going to be a bumpy, crumbly mess. On Wednesday the 8th, we get the biggest surf of the window with a 8 ft NW swell and a slightly more interesting 9-second period, giving us strong to very strong wave energy at 901. But with the onshore wind at a grueling 28 mph, this is expert-level only due to the size (over 8 ft), and honestly, with that wind, it’s going to look more like a washing machine than a wave. This setup is far better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that, the swell drops off a cliff. By Thursday the 9th, we’re down to a 4 ft NW swell with no energy, and the wind stays onshore. There’s a brief glimmer of hope on Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the E and later from the SSE, which will make the surface clean. But the swell is tiny— only 1 ft to 2 ft from the NW with a super short period and negligible wave energy (14 to 23). There’s nothing to ride. The rest of the second week is flat or close to it.
So, to be honest, there are no true standout days here. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for quality surf. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a poor run, but don’t get too bummed out—forecasts can change.
Until next time,
Rusty.
