Alright, let's take a look at what's on offer for our stretch of coast here. I'm lookin' at the next couple of weeks, and I gotta be straight with you – it's a pretty quiet run for Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt). We've got a real drought of surfable waves on the horizon.

The good news is that the water is feeling mighty toasty, about 66° – a full five degrees warmer than usual for this time of year. That's real unusual, and it means you can get away with a thinner wetsuit, maybe even a spring suit if you're brave. The bad news is that there's just nothing happening out there that's gonna get me excited.

We start off this Saturday afternoon, the 4th of July, with a weak 3 ft swell out of the WNW, but with a pitiful 6-second period and a combined energy of just 63 – real weak stuff. On top of that, we've got a cross-onshore wind mushing it up, so it's a write-off.

The next couple of days don't get any better. Sunday the 5th sees some bigger swell, hitting 6 ft from the WNW, with combined energy climbing to 290 (moderate), but it's being hammered by strong onshore winds, 28 mph. The period is still short at 7 seconds, so it's just a messy, blown-out affair. Monday the 6th drops right back down to tiny 2 ft surf, and those onshore winds keep the surface ugly.

Tuesday the 7th brings the biggest push we'll see, with 7 ft waves out of the WNW and a combined energy of 426 (now we're talkin' moderate to strong power). But it's all for nothing – strong cross-onshore winds at 28 mph rip it to shreds. The period is still short at 7 seconds, so it's a washing machine out there. This is one for the kite surfers and the wind junkies, not for us.

Wednesday the 8th settles down a bit, with a 5 ft NW swell and clean winds, but the 6-second period makes it weak and crumbly. The rest of the first week just fades away to nothing, with swell dropping below 3 ft and energy numbers plummeting into the single digits.

Now, after that mid-week bluster on the 7th and 8th, it gets real quiet. There's a long stretch from around the 10th of July right through to the 19th where the surf is near non-existent. We see glassy conditions and light offshore winds on a few mornings, which would be perfect if we had any swell, but we don't. The combined energy numbers are often just 1 or 2. It's a total flat spell. A few days even show no swell data at all – just a zero.

So, what's the call? Honestly, there's no standout session in this 16-day window. The biggest pulses of energy are completely wasted by strong onshore winds and a short, weak period. For a spot that's fairly consistent, this is a bleak run. But that's Sylt for you sometimes – the North Sea can just shut off. I wouldn't hold your breath for the second week either; it's looking like a dead zone.

Keep the board waxed, wait for the forecasts to change, and maybe take up kite-surfing for a week or two.

Rusty.
