The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here, and I've got to level with you. The next couple of weeks are going to be a test of patience. The 16-day outlook is mostly a desert, with one tiny oasis right at the very end.
For over a week and a half, from the 9th all the way to the 21st, it's a write-off. We're looking at relentless onshore winds and messy, blown-out waves at Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt). There's some swell pushing through on the 11th, a 5ft pulse from the NW, but it's being shredded by a 35 km/h onshore wind. Same story again on the 16th, with a 5ft swell and 35 km/h winds. It's just a complete washing machine out there.
Finally, on Saturday the 22nd, we get a window. The morning looks like the only time worth paddling out. The swell is a modest 4ft from the WNW with a 6-second period, but the wind is forecast to be glassy from the NNE. That's the magic word: glassy. If that holds, it could be the only clean surf of the entire period. It's not big, and the energy is weak, but it's something. A small, glassy morning could give you a few fun ones before the wind switches onshore in the afternoon.
Keep your fingers crossed for that Saturday morning. It's a long way out, so we'll have to see how it shapes up. If it doesn't come together, there's just nothing else on the table.
Rusty out.
