The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the North Sea.
Honestly, looking at the next 16 days, it’s a pretty grim run for the waves at Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt). The forecast is nearly wall-to-wall “poor surf conditions” all the way through to the 12th of August. There’s a lot of wind, and the swell is mostly small, short-period and messy. You’re looking at a long stretch of flatness or chopped-up junk. The water’s about 64° – that’s dead average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real flurry of energy shows up on the morning of the 7th of August. A NW swell bumps up to 4ft with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy hits 150 (moderate). But the wind is onshore from the NNW at 12 mph, which will make it lumpy. It’s still poor surf conditions. The afternoon stays similar with a fresh cross-onshore breeze at 22 mph churning it up. That’s not a day to get excited about.
The 8th of August is the biggest swell of the window. By Saturday morning, it’s 6ft from the NW at 7 seconds, with a combined energy of 292 (strong). The wind is a gentle cross-onshore at 9 mph, which is about the best you’ll see, but the period is short and the break is exposed. It’s still rated poor. The afternoon holds the same size but the wind turns fully onshore. For a beach break, a 6ft short-period swell with onshore wind is going to be a washing machine. It’s more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
The 9th of August drops a touch to 5ft to 5ft, but the wind is still onshore. The combined energy is still moderate (162-167). Again, poor surf conditions.
There is no standout day. There is no single session where the stars align for a good surf. The best you can hope for is a slightly less messy session on the 8th, but even then, the wind and short period will keep it ugly. For a consistent spot like this, a blank run of this length is pretty normal for the North Sea in summer. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d keep the board in the van.
Rusty.
