The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Nordseeklinik Westerland over the next couple of weeks.

Truth be told, it’s a grim stretch. The first proper surfable day doesn’t even show up until the 18th of July, and even then, it’s a mess. The whole 16-day window is plagued by poor conditions, with constant onshore winds and choppy, lumpy junk. For a spot that’s a fairly consistent beach break, this is a rough run. There’s no standout day, no hidden gem, just a whole lot of bad luck with the wind.

The first few days are a write-off. Friday the 17th is flat with a tiny 0.7 ft swell and glassy wind, but it’s barely a ripple. Saturday the 18th sees a jump in swell to 6 ft in the morning, pushing 7 ft in the afternoon, but it’s hammered by a strong onshore wind of 25 mph. The wave energy is moderate (282) to strong (682), but the quality is terrible. That’s expert-only territory if you’re desperate, but you’ll be battling a washing machine. By Sunday the 19th, the swell drops to 4 ft, but the wind is still cross-on and messy.

The pattern doesn’t let up. From Monday the 20th through to the end of July, it’s a mix of onshore and cross-on winds with swell heights between 3 ft and 4 ft, and energy readings mostly under 116—weak to moderate. The wind is never clean offshore for any sustained period, except for a brief moment on the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July, when a fresh SSE offshore wind blows at 22 mph. That morning, the swell is only 2 ft from the SW with a short 4-second period, so it’s clean but tiny. A small window for a beginner if you’re keen to get wet, but it’s not going to be a wave you’ll remember.

The 31st of July and 1st of August offer a late spike in size. On Friday the 31st, the afternoon sees 7 ft from the NW at 8 seconds, with strong energy (604), but it’s cross-on and choppy. Saturday the 1st of August has 7 ft from the WNW, also cross-on and choppy. These are big, powerful, ugly waves—only for experts, and even then, it’s a battle with the wind.

Honestly, I wouldn’t paddle out for any of this unless you’re a glutton for punishment. The wind just ruins everything. For a beach break like this, longer-period groundswells (like the 12-second pulse on the 28th of July) would be better, but it’s only 0.3 ft, so it’s a non-event. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.

If you’re into kites, this setup might look more interesting than paddle surfing, especially on the windier days. But for a surfer? This is a blank run. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, I’d leave the board in the car and find something else to do.

Rusty.
