The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the North Sea has in store for us around Westerland.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is gonna be a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions from now, the 27th of July, all the way through to the 4th of August. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, gusting hard, and the swell is getting chopped to bits. You’ll see a few small waves here and there, but honestly, nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Wednesday, the 5th of August. Nordseeklinik Westerland sees a 4ft swell from the northwest, with a light northeast breeze keeping things clean. The combined energy hits 132 (moderate), and it’s surfable, but it’s just ordinary. It’s a beginner-friendly wave, but it’s not going to get your heart racing.
The standout, and I mean the only real standout in this whole 16-day window, is the morning of Saturday, the 8th of August. We get a 5ft swell from the southwest, period around 6 seconds, and the wind goes glassy with a light breeze from the northwest. The combined energy is 140 (moderate). That’s the cleanest window we’ve got. It’s a small, fun-sized wave for the beginners, but if you’re looking for a clean session, that’s your moment. The crowd factor is "sometimes" here, so you might have a few others out, but it’s not a circus.
The rest of the run into the 11th of August is mostly onshore junk or very small, messy surf. The morning of the 10th of August shows a clean 3ft wave with a light offshore wind, but it’s pretty weak. By the 11th, the wind picks up again and it’s back to lumpy conditions.
So, bottom line: don’t expect much for the next week. The 8th of August morning is your best bet, and it’s just a decent little session for the beginners. Wait for the forecasts to change, because this blank run feels a bit normal for the area.
Rusty.
