The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer here in the North Sea near Sylt.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run of surf for the next couple of weeks. The swell and the wind just aren’t playing ball for most of the period, so you’re going to be staring at a lot of flat, messy water. We’ve got a proper run of nothing from the start right through to the 22nd of August, with only tiny, onshore junk to look at.
The first real glimpse of anything worthwhile comes on the morning of Saturday, the 23rd of August. There is a noticeable change in the weather that morning. We’ve got a moderate offshore wind from the southeast and a clean-looking 5ft swell coming from the west, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 260. It’s not a classic, groundswell bomb, but compared to the weeks of slop, it’s a real standout. That said, the swell is a touch over 5ft, so it might be a bit much for absolute beginners out at Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt). The water temperature is sitting just about average for the time of year at 65°.
The afternoon of that same Saturday drops off quickly as the wind swings and the swell backs down. After that, it’s back to tiny, poor waves until the end of the outlook. Basically, there’s a single clean morning on the 23rd, and that’s your best and only real chance to get a decent paddle in. It’s a very long wait.
