Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s take a good, long look at the next 16 days for Nordseeklinik Westerland on Sylt. I gotta be straight with you from the start – this is a tough stretch. The forecast has us waiting a long time for anything worthwhile, and even then, it’s not going to be a classic.
The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at tiny, weak swells with poor winds, mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the wave energy is practically non-existent, often in the single digits. It’s a real flat spell right through to the 23rd of July. There’s a brief moment on the morning of the 18th where the swell bumps up to 3ft from the southwest, but it’s still cross-shore wind and the energy is weak (44). It’s not going to be worth the paddle.
Things get a bit more interesting around the 21st of July, but not in a good way for surfing. The swell picks up to 6ft from the NW on Tuesday morning, and the combined energy jumps to 330 – that’s moderate, so there’s power in the water. But the wind is howling from the W at 22 mph, blowing cross-on, making it lumpy and messy. This is a classic setup where the North Sea is showing its teeth. Honestly, for a beach break like this with that much wind and swell, it looks more interesting for the kite surfers than for paddle surfing. It stays big and windy for the next few days, with the swell hitting 6ft and energy up to 311, but the onshore winds are just too strong.
Finally, after a long, long gap, we get a glimmer of hope. On the morning of Friday the 24th of July, the wind swings around to a light breeze from the SSW at 6 mph, blowing cross-offshore. The swell is a clean 4ft from the WNW with a moderate energy of 149. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” but with those light, clean winds, this is the best session on offer. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the only time we’ll see anything even close to rideable. The rest of that day and the weekend after drop back down to tiny, wind-affected slop.
So, the honest truth? There’s one window: the morning of Friday the 24th of July. Get on it if you’re desperate, but keep your expectations in check. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing weird there. For the rest of the 16 days, you’re better off tuning the board or going for a long walk on the beach.
Rusty.
