The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks for the North Sea.

Honestly, it’s a grim stretch for anyone looking to get wet. The wind and the waves just ain't on our side for a long, long time. We’re looking at a solid week and a half of blown-out, weak, or totally flat conditions at Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt). The water is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s cooperating.

The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Friday the 21st. There is finally some proper swell in the water, 6ft from the WSW with a period of 6 seconds. Sure, the period is a bit short and fat, but the wind is supposed to be glassy in the morning, which is a massive positive for a spot that gets hammered otherwise. The combined energy is moderate, at 213. It’ll be the most surfable it’s been, but with a period that short, it’s going to be pretty soft and lumpy. Still, it’s something.

That window is going to be short-lived though. By the afternoon, the wind is going to crank onshore at 22 mph from the NW, ruining the lineup and pushing the swell up to a messy 7ft. That size is over the beginner mark, and the onshore wind will make it a battle.

The next couple of days after that stay rough. Saturday the 22nd sees the swell staying up around 6ft in the morning, with moderate energy (301), but that onshore wind is right back in our face. The period is still short. It’s not going to be clean.

Beyond that the crystal ball gets hazy. There’s some energy hanging around, but the forecasts don't point to anything clean or organised. We just need that wind to clock around offshore and hold. Until then, keep the board in the car and the coffee hot. The potential is there for a fun early paddle on the 21st, but that’s the only true standout in the whole window.

Rusty.
