Right, grab a coffee, I’ve had a look at the charts for your local stretch, and I’ll be straight with you—it’s a pretty grim picture for the next two weeks. The majority of the forecast window is a write-off for decent waves, with a long stretch of poor conditions and barely a whisper of swell. Let’s talk about the only two days that might get your heart beating a little.

First up, the spot is Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt). It’s a fairly consistent beginner break, and for the first week and a half, you’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. We’re talking day after day of onshore winds and small, weak swell. The energy is low, barely registering with values around 12 to 30 on the combined energy scale, which is basically flat. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.

The real story starts on Saturday, July 18th. The morning kicks off with a bit of a pulse, with swell coming from the NW at 6ft, and the combined energy climbs to 346 (moderate). The wind is light from the north, but it’s cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy with small wind ripples. It’s a marginal call, but it’s the first sign of life. The afternoon, however, gets messy again with a fresh NNW wind kicking up to 19 mph, and the swell jumps to 8ft, but the quality drops. That’s likely too big for the beginners here, and with the onshore wind, it’ll be a bit of a washing machine.

Your best bet, and the only one I’d get excited about, is Sunday, July 19th. The morning is looking like the standout. Swell is 7ft from the NW with a period of 9 seconds, giving a solid groundswell feel. The combined energy hits 671 (strong wave energy). The wind is from the NW at 9 mph, which is onshore, so it won’t be glassy, but it’s a gentle breeze, so the surface will be manageable. It’s a marginal call, but this is the biggest, most energetic swell of the whole window. The afternoon sees the wind swing to the west, making it cross-onshore and choppy, so the morning is the clear window.

After that, it’s back to the doldrums. The rest of the second week is a mix of poor conditions, onshore winds, and small, weak swell. You’ll see a few bumps around 5ft, but the wind is always wrong, and the energy quickly drops. For the most part, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the wind and swell angles.

So, to sum it up: it’s a long, dry spell, but Sunday the 19th morning is the only proper chance to get wet. It’s promising, but given it’s two weeks out, keep an eye on the forecast. The rest of the time, leave the board in the car.
