Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt) over the next 16 days.
Alright, I’m looking at the next couple of weeks at Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt), and it’s a rough one, guys. This beginner-friendly spot is wide open, and it needs a west swell, but the wave energy is just not there for most of the run.
The water temp is about 63°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The first thing that catches my eye is Sunday, July 12th. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the NW with a 7 second period, and the combined energy is 140 (moderate). But the wind is a strong onshore from the NNW at 22 mph, just trashing the surface. It’s a poor call, and honestly, this looks more like a kite-surfing spot than a paddle spot.
Monday, July 13th has a moment early. The morning is clean with a light offshore breeze from the ESE at 3 mph, but the swell is tiny at 2ft from the NW. The energy is only 35 (weak). It’s clean, but you’re looking at knee-high waves if you’re lucky.
After that, it’s a long, dead period. From the 14th through the 20th, the surf is either flat or blown out. The wind is onshore, cross-onshore, or just too strong, and the swell heights are bouncing between 0.3ft and 1ft. The energy readings are pathetic—mostly single digits. There’s a glassy moment on the morning of Thursday, July 16th, but with the swell at 0.3ft and a 4 second period, it’s a puddle.
We get a little pulse on Monday, July 20th. The swell hits 3ft from the NW, with a 7-8 second period, and the combined energy is 100 (moderate). Still, the wind is onshore from the NNW at 12-25 mph, so it’s messy.
Friday, July 24th shows a 4ft swell from the WNW with a 6 second period, and energy at 103 (moderate). But the wind is a strong onshore at 28 mph, making it unsurfable.
Sunday, July 26th is the best of a bad lot. The morning brings a clean, cross-offshore wind from the NE at 19 mph, with a 3ft swell from the WNW. The energy is 49 (weak). For a beginner spot, the conditions are clean, but the wave size is small and the period is short at 6 seconds. You can paddle out, but don’t expect much.
This is a tough 16-day outlook. For a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, it’s just a string of bad luck. A blank run like this is more normal for the area when the wind is howling from the wrong way. The only slight glimmer is that Sunday morning on the 26th, but it’s a long shot.
