The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be honest: this 16-day outlook for the North Sea is a rough one. We’re looking at a full week of nothing from Monday the 20th through Sunday the 26th of July. The wind is pinned from the NW and NNW, blowing onshore at 25 to 40 mph, and the swell is just short-period wind slop. The water is a warm 68°F, but that’s about the only positive. The wave energy is barely a whisper.
The only glimmer of hope comes on Monday the 27th of July. The morning at Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt) turns glassy. The wind is dead calm. The swell is a tiny 4ft from the W with a period of 7 seconds, and the energy is still low. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The water is much warmer than normal for the time of year, which is nice, but the waves are weak and small. It’s the only thing worth paddling out for, and even then, it’s a session for the longboard.
After that, the wind comes back onshore on Tuesday the 28th of July, with 5ft swell but messy conditions. The rest of the forecast is a total loss. By Thursday the 30th of July, we’re talking near gale force winds and tiny, blown-out junk. This is a classic blank run for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d hang up the wetsuit for a while.
Rusty.
