The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a good, hard look at what we've got cookin' for the Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt) stretch. Gotta be honest with you, the next week and a half is a real struggle. I'm looking at a whole lot of nothing for days on end.
We start off on Monday the 27th of July, and honestly, you can just leave the board in the truck. We get a lumpy, messy 5ft from the WNW, but a strong 25 mph wind has it all blown out. That energy is weak, so don't get any ideas. That energy just drops off a cliff, and we slide into a dead period. From Tuesday the 28th right through to the end of the first week of August, it's practically a flat spell. We’re talking swell heights barely cracking 2ft, and the energy figures are in the low double digits; the 30th of July shows a paltry 7. It's sad. You get a few clean, glassy mornings, like Wednesday the 29th, but with only 1ft of swell, it’s a lake. Not a thing to get wet for.
This dry run stretches for nearly two straight weeks. The only slight flicker comes right at the tail end of the forecast window. On Monday the 10th of August, the numbers finally get my heart pumping. The morning bumps up to a solid 8ft from the WSW, with a moderate breeze keeping it clean. That combined energy jumps to a powerful 655. But the real standout is Monday afternoon. Still a meaty 8ft, but the wind swings to a light breeze from the SSW, keeping it clean. The energy rockets up to a very strong 748. This is the one, folks. At that size, it's better suited for the experienced crew – too much heft for learners. For the rest of us, that's the session to circle on the calendar. The wind on Tuesday the 11th swings onshore again, so don't sleep on that Monday window. It’s a long way off, so keep your fingers crossed, but that’s the only real hope in this whole outlook.
Stay safe out there.
Rusty.
