The Lowdown
Heads up, folks. Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt), and I’ve got to be straight with you: it’s going to be a long, quiet stretch. The entire 16-day window is a write-off. There’s no point in sugar-coating it.
The water is sitting at 67°F (much warmer than normal for this time of year), but that’s about the only thing worth talking about. We’ve got a run of onshore winds, mostly from the northwest, and the swell is almost entirely short-period windswell with weak energy. From Monday the 20th through the 24th, the wind is up and the swell is messy. A few days in the middle, like Wednesday the 22nd, push some moderate energy, but with a near gale blowing straight onshore, it’s just a washing machine. Not for surfing.
The pattern barely shifts. The wind goes cross-shore for a few days around the 24th and 25th, but the swell drops off to next to nothing. Then it’s back to cross-onshore and blown-out conditions through the rest of July and into August. The Wednesday morning of the 29th has a brief moment of clean wind and a 5ft swell, but it’s a fleeting window in a sea of bad wind. By the time we hit August 4th, the swell has collapsed to just 0.7ft. It’s not a great run for the area, but when it’s this flat and windy, you’re better off finding something else to do. There’s nothing here for a surfer.
Rusty.
