The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at the North Sea. First up, this is the Nordseeklinik Westerland spot on Sylt. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The whole 16-day window is a bit of a grind, to be honest. There's a real gap of nothing worthwhile from the start, all the way through to the end of the first week. You're looking at tiny, weak swell with messy wind. The energy is barely there, with values like 45 or 62 popping up, but with the wrong wind, it's just not surfable. The first few days of August don't bring any relief either.
The first bit of real interest doesn't show up until Friday, the 7th of August. The morning sees a little bump in size to about 4 ft from the WNW, and the energy climbs to 78, but it's cross-on and choppy. Later that afternoon, the swell pushes to about 4.5 ft, with energy hitting 152. That's a moderate kick, but it's coming straight onshore with a fresh breeze, turning it into a messy, lumpy mess. Too rough to be fun.
Saturday, the 8th of August, is similar. The morning has about 4 ft of WNW swell, energy at 123, but it's cross-on and choppy again. The afternoon is onshore and messy. The swell is just over 5 ft at times, which is pushing it for beginners, but the wind is the real killer.
There's a glimmer on Monday, the 10th of August. The morning is glassy, with about 3 ft of NW swell. The energy is only 33, so it's weak, but that glassy surface is a rare treat. It would be a clean, tiny wave, but the wind picks up in the afternoon and ruins it.
The best bet on offer is probably that glassy Monday morning, the 10th of August. Even though the swell is small at 3 ft from the NW, the wind is dead calm, so it'll be as clean as it gets. For a beginner spot, that's the window to get a few long, easy rides. After that, the rest of the window is just more onshore, choppy slop with no real energy or quality.
It's a poor run, but that's the North Sea for you. The forecasts can change, but for now, I'd be looking for something else to do for the next two weeks.
