Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt) over the next 16 days.
Right then, let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I've got to be honest with you: it's looking pretty grim. This stretch is a long, flat, and windy one with nothing worth paddling out for. We're talking about a serious gap here, with no decent surf on offer for the entire first week and a half.
Looking at Nordseeklinik Westerland on Sylt, we're getting hammered by onshore winds for days on end. Through Wednesday the 8th and into the weekend, it's all fresh onshore breezes and poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, and what little energy there is gets blown to bits. The combined energy barely breaks into three digits a couple of times, like on the 8th with a moderate 159, but with 22 mph winds straight on it, it's a washout. The water temp is about 62°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
There's a tiny window of clean conditions on the morning of Tuesday the 14th with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only 1 ft. It's just not worth the effort.
You might be wondering about the very end of the forecast. Monday the 20th sees a bit more life with 4 ft swell from the NW and a period of 6 seconds, but again, it's onshore wind and rated as poor. The energy is moderate at 103, but with those winds, it'll be a messy, choppy affair.
Honestly, this is one of those stretches where the North Sea just shuts down. It's more of a waiting game than anything else. There's nothing here for a surfer. If you're a kite surfer and you see those strong cross-onshore winds on the 17th and 18th, that might look interesting, but for paddling, it's a no-go.
