The Lowdown
Well, folks, Rusty here. Looking at the next 16 days for Nordseeklinik Westerland on Sylt, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty bleak stretch. There’s no real surf on offer for the vast majority of the period. The water is much warmer than usual for this time of year (67° on the 21st, a solid 4° above normal), but that’s about the only positive.
The first week is a write-off. Tuesday the 21st? Tiny 3 ft swell from the NW with a pathetic 4-second period, and a moderate onshore breeze – just messy. Wednesday the 22nd gets a bit of size (8 ft from the NW), but the wind is screaming from the NW at 31 mph, making it pure chaos. That setup is way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing – the combined energy hits 790, but you’d be insane to try and surf it. Thursday and Friday are smaller but still onshore and choppy, with swell energy dropping into the double digits. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are flat and bumpy, barely a ripple.
Then there’s a gap of several days with nothing worth mentioning – just small, weak, onshore junk. The only glimmer comes on Sunday the 2nd of August. For a few hours in the morning, the wind goes glassy out of the SE at 3 mph, and there’s a 4 ft NW swell with a 6-second period. Combined energy is 132 – moderate. The conditions are described as “surfable waves but very ordinary.” It’s not gonna be pretty, but it’s the only window where you could paddle out and not get hammered. The spot is a beginner-friendly beach break, fairly consistent, and crowds are possible (sometimes), but with such lacklustre waves, it’ll likely be quiet. After that, it’s back to small, choppy, and cross-onshore for the rest of the forecast.
So, bottom line: there’s almost nothing to chase. The one morning on August 2nd is your best bet, but it’s far from a standout. It tends not to stay this poor for long around here, so keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change. For now, though, I’d save the wax.
