The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the North Sea’s got cookin’ for us. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this isn’t our finest hour. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell. We’re looking at a long stretch of time with nothing worth paddling out for.
We’ve got one spot on the menu, Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt), and it’s a beginner-friendly beach break that’s exposed to the swell. But the problem is, there’s barely any energy coming through. The combined swell energy stays weak, mostly in the double digits, and never really gets going. For the first several days, the wind is a mess – howling from the west and northwest, keeping things choppy and onshore or cross-shore. That’s a write-off.
You do get a couple of clean windows in there. On Wednesday the 29th of July, the wind drops right out, going light and cross-offshore, with a glassy clean look. But the swell is tiny – just 1ft to 0.3ft with a period around 5 to 8 seconds. Not enough to push a surfer around. The same goes for Thursday the 30th of July, where we get a dead calm, glassy morning, but the swell is basically flat at 0.3ft.
As we head into the first week of August, there’s a slight glimmer. On Sunday the 2nd of August, we see a little bump to 3ft from the WSW, with a light offshore wind in the morning, and even a glassy afternoon. That’s about as good as it gets, but the period is short – only 5 seconds – so it’s gonna be weak and crumbly. The combined energy is still weak at 35. No real punch.
After that, it’s back to tiny, poorly aligned waves and onshore wind. There’s a brief moment on Wednesday the 5th of August where the afternoon goes glassy with a 3ft swell from the NNW, but again, the period is a short 4 seconds, so it’s not going to have any shape or power.
Honestly, for the whole 16 days, there’s nothing that gets my heart racing. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no shock there. But the lack of swell is the real story. This is one of those stretches where you’re better off checking the forecasts again in a few days, because things can change. For now, it’s a flat and frustrating outlook.
Rusty.
