The Lowdown
Alright folks, let's size up the next couple of weeks on Sylt. Gotta be honest, there are some big gaps where you're better off doing something else.
From the 15th through the 17th of July, it's flat and hopeless. We're talking knee-high slop at best—0.3ft to 0.6ft—with no power. Not worth wetting a wetsuit. On Saturday the 18th, the ocean wakes up, but it wakes up angry. A strong onshore wind of 28 mph whips up a raw 6.9ft to 8.2ft NW swell. The energy is moderate to strong (480 in the morning, spiking to a heavy 1108 in the afternoon). That's a lot of water moving fast, and with that wind, it’s only for the hardcore blokes who don't mind a beating. The 19th is still messy with 3.9ft waves and a 22 mph onshore breeze.
Then we hit the dead zone. From the 20th all the way to the morning of the 26th, it’s just week after week of poor conditions. The swell wobbles between 3ft and 5.9ft, but it's all onshore junky windswell with short 6-7 second periods. No shape, no power. The afternoon of Sunday the 26th finally offers a break in the clouds. You get a clean 5.2ft NW swell with a slightly better 7-second period, and the wind drops to a light 6 mph. There's a little cross-on bump, but it's the most rideable surf we've seen in over a week. The energy is moderate (214). That afternoon is your best bet.
The absolute end of the run on Tuesday morning, the 28th, is a classic teaser. The swell is a tiny 1.3ft, but the wind goes glassy. Perfect, flat conditions for a longboard or a foiler, but no push.
So, to boil it down: Saturday the 18th is the only time we get any grunt, but the wind ruins it. Sunday the 26th is the call for a proper, relaxed session. The rest of it is a wait-and-see game.
