The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I'll be straight with you – it's a tough stretch ahead for Nordseeklinik Westerland on Sylt. The next 16 days are looking pretty flat and blown out, so don't get your hopes up for any kind of proper surf. Right now, we're looking at a long, dry run with nothing worth paddling out for.
The water is sitting at 67°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's slightly in our favour.
Let's start with the first few days. Friday the 7th has some swell, about 4ft from the WNW, but a strong 19 mph onshore wind is just ruining it. The combined energy is moderate at 204, but it's messy and poor. Saturday and Sunday drop right off – we're talking tiny 2ft and 1ft with weak energy, even though the winds go offshore, there's just no push. Monday the 10th sees a bit of a bump back up to 4ft on Tuesday morning, but it's hammered by a 22 mph onshore wind again, making it a complete write-off.
We get a brief moment of glassy conditions on Wednesday the 12th morning, with a light easterly breeze, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft. You could float around on a foamie, but that's about it. The rest of the week is a mess of cross-onshore winds and tiny, weak waves.
Looking further out, the second week doesn't offer any relief. The swell stays small, rarely breaking 3ft, and the winds are consistently onshore or cross-onshore, with a few clean offshore windows on the 19th and 20th, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. The combined energy barely gets into double digits, so it's a total flat spell.
Honestly, for a spot that's exposed to the west, this is a brutal run. There's no standout, no hidden gem, nothing. The only thing that might be worth mentioning is if you're into kite surfing, the strong cross-onshore winds on the 15th and 16th might look interesting, but for a paddle surfer, there's nothing here. It's a long stretch of poor surf, and it's pretty normal for this area to have these blank runs when the wind and swell don't line up. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
