The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks at Nordseeklinik Westerland on Sylt. I gotta be straight with you: the immediate outlook is a bit of a bummer. We’ve got a long stretch of onshore and cross-onshore winds that are just gonna chop things up. The good news is that there’s a little window of hope right at the end, but we’ve got to get through the rough stuff first.
From Sunday the 19th right through to the end of the month, the wind is a persistent problem. It’s swinging from NNW to NW and W, and it’s almost always onshore or cross-onshore, blowing at 12 to 31 mph. That’s gonna make for lumpy, messy, and choppy conditions. The swell is there, bouncing between 2 ft and 7 ft, but the wind is just ruining it. The combined wave energy is all over the place, with moderate energy on the 22nd (440) and 23rd (250), but it’s all poor surf. The water temp is about average for the time of year, which is nice, but it doesn’t help when the surface is a mess.
Now, the period from Sunday the 30th into the first couple of days of August shows a glimmer. On Thursday the 30th, the wind finally swings to SSW, giving us a cross-offshore breeze in the afternoon. That’s our first taste of clean surf. The swell is a modest 3 ft from the W with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 67. It’s not pumping, but it’ll be clean. Then, on Saturday, the 1st of August, we get a morning with a clean wind again, this time from the SSW at 25 mph. The swell picks up a touch to 5 ft from the WSW, with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 177. That’s the standout of the whole forecast. The wind is cleaning things up, so if you can get out there that morning, you’ll find the best conditions on offer. The swell is small enough to be manageable for the beginner crew, but just be aware that the crowds can show up sometimes here.
The rest of the first week of August is still looking at that onshore wind again, so don’t get your hopes up too high after that Saturday morning. The swell drops right off by the 3rd of August, down to a tiny 2 ft from the NW with a weak 17 combined energy, and the wind is back onshore. So, to sum it up: we’ve got a long, frustrating gap of poor surf from the 19th to the 30th, then a short, beautiful window of clean surf on the morning of the 1st of August. That’s the one to aim for.
Rusty.
