The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's break down what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks. It's a grim stretch for Nordseeklinik Westerland on Sylt. The entire 16-day window is pretty poor, with no standout sessions at all. We're looking at a long run of 'poor surf conditions' and the only time it even gets a mention as 'surfable' is on the morning of the 9th of August, but it's still very ordinary.
The water temperature is sitting at 64°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Right from the start, Saturday the 1st of August, we've got a tiny 2-foot swell from the WNW with a short 6-second period and a cross-on wind. The wave energy is weak (20). It's not worth paddling out for. The whole first week is much of the same – small, weak swells with messy winds. The combined energy barely cracks 60 on the 2nd of August, and we get a couple of clean mornings on the 3rd and 4th, but the swell is only 1-foot, so there's nothing to ride. The energy is feeble (16 and 18).
There's a bit of a bump in size on the 7th of August with 4 to 4 feet from the WNW, but it's accompanied by a strong 25 mph cross-onshore wind, making it a messy, blown-out scene. Not your friend.
The 9th of August morning is the closest we get to something. There's a 4-foot swell from the west with a light offshore wind, leaving it clean. The combined energy is still only moderate (71). It's rideable, but it's not going to blow your mind. The forecast says 'surfable waves but very ordinary conditions'. That's about the best I can say.
We get a bit more size on the 10th and 11th of August, with swells hitting 6 and 6 feet from the WNW and NW. The combined energy climbs into the moderate range (447 and 358). But the wind is a problem – strong onshore and cross-shore winds in the fresh breeze range will make it a bumpy, challenging mess. This is more for the expert crew with a tolerance for ugly conditions. Beginners would be in over their heads.
The rest of the second week fades back into small, weak swells and poor winds. The 14th of August morning has a 5-foot swell from the WNW with a light offshore, so it might be clean, but the energy is still moderate (132) and the period is short (6 seconds).
Honestly, if you're desperate for a paddle, the 9th of August morning is the pick. But keep your expectations low. It's a tough period for Nordseeklinik Westerland.
Rusty.
