The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks at Nordseeklinik Westerland on Sylt. I’ll be straight with you—this is a tough one.
Overall, the pattern is a long, drawn-out stretch of mostly poor conditions. We’re looking at a big gap with no real surf on offer. The first recommendation doesn’t show up until Tuesday, August 11th, and even then it’s marginal. From the start of the forecast on August 3rd right through to August 10th, it’s all poor surf conditions with tiny swell, messy wind, or both. You’d be wasting your time paddling out.
The best chance in the whole window falls on Tuesday, August 11th, in the morning. For a brief moment, mother nature throws us a bone. The swell picks up to 7 ft from the W with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 428—that’s strong wave energy. It’s a fair bit of water, pushing into the 8 ft range, so this one is for the experienced crew only. Beginners should sit this one out. The wind is NNE at a mere 3 mph, which is a light cross-shore. That’s about as glassy as you’ll get here, and it’ll keep the surface clean. The break is exposed and fairly consistent. The water temp is 65°, which is about normal for the time of year, so no surprises there. This is your standout, but it’s a short-lived window.
The morning of Wednesday, August 12th, is your next look. The swell drops back to 4 ft from the NW, period 8 seconds, with a combined energy of 106 (moderate). The wind is light offshore from the SE at 3 mph, making for clean conditions. It’s surfable but very ordinary. The crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have a few others with the same idea.
After that, the energy fades fast. From the afternoon of the 12th all the way through to the 18th, it’s back to tiny, weak swell and onshore and cross-shore winds. No real recommendations there. The last few days show essentially flat surf with no swell height recorded at all.
So, to sum it up: if you’re an experienced surfer, set your alarm for the morning of Tuesday, August 11th. That’s the one chance for a proper session. For everyone else, the forecast is a long blank run. It’s a tough stretch for the area, but don’t lose hope—forecasts can change.
Rusty.
