The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Gonna be a tough stretch, so let’s break it down.
First thing: expect a long, flat run. From Wednesday the 15th through Friday the 24th, there’s basically nothing worth paddling for. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions” on every single entry. Tiny swell, onshore wind, no energy. You’re better off doing something else.
The first real chance comes on Saturday the 25th at Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt). We get a 1.2m swell from the WNW, with a period of 8 to 9 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (189 to 216). The wind is light from the WSW then WNW, so it’s a gentle cross-shore or cross-onshore breeze. Still, the wave comment says “poor surf conditions,” so don’t get your hopes up.
Then, on Sunday the 26th morning, we finally get a clean window. The swell is 1.1m from the NNW, but the wind shifts offshore from the SE at 15 mph. That’s a moderate offshore breeze, and the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s small, but it’s the cleanest wave we’ll see in the 16-day window. Water temp is 17°, which is about average for the time of year.
After that, it goes downhill again. Monday the 27th brings strong SW winds at 30 mph, and the swell bumps to 1.3m, but it’s cross-shore and lumpy. Tuesday the 28th sees a bigger swell of 1.9m to 2.1m from the NW, with strong energy (341 to 420), but the wind is fresh cross-shore or cross-onshore, making it choppy. That’s expert territory if you’re desperate, but it’s not a recommendation.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, Sunday the 26th morning is your best bet. The offshore wind will clean it up, but it’s still a small swell and ordinary conditions. Not a classic.
Rusty out.
