The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Nordseeklinik Westerland over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a tough outlook. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. We’ve got a long stretch starting from Thursday, July 30th, all the way through to the morning of Friday, August 7th, where conditions are just poor. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross, cross-onshore, or just onshore and strong, making everything lumpy and messy. The water temp is sitting at 63°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real flicker of hope comes on Friday, August 7th in the morning. The wind swings offshore out of the ESE at 12 mph, and the waves clean up. Swell is from the NW at 5 ft with a period of 6 seconds, with moderate combined swell energy (177). It’s surfable, but the conditions are still described as ordinary. The NW swell direction isn’t quite the optimum W direction the spot likes, so it’ll be a bit disappointing. Still, it’s the best we’ve seen.
The next proper standout I’m looking at is Tuesday, August 11th in the afternoon. We get a SE wind at 6 mph – that’s offshore and clean, glassy conditions. The swell is from the WNW at 5 ft with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (187). Again, the direction is close to the W optimum, so it’s a better match. The break is fairly consistent, but crowds are possible here. For a beginner spot, this is about as good as it gets in this window. The onshore winds on the 12th and 13th wreck it again, though.
Honestly, the standout session is Friday, August 7th morning, with the clean offshore wind, or Tuesday, August 11th afternoon. Both are marginal but the cleanest of a bad bunch. The swell is 5 ft, which is okay for beginners but not intimidating. Periods are short, so expect short, choppy waves.
If you’re a kiter, the strong onshore winds on August 13th might be more your thing than mine. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty.
