The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Sylt.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this is a grim stretch. The whole 16-day window is a write-off. There's not a single session I'd recommend paddling out for. The data shows a relentless run of poor surf conditions, day after day.
We start on Wednesday, the 5th of August, and it's already ugly. A 4ft swell from the southwest, but it's getting hammered by a strong cross-breeze at 25 mph, making a mess of things. The wave energy is weak (86), and it's just a choppy, cross-shore disaster. That afternoon doesn't get any better. The wind swings, the swell stays short-period, and it's just lumpy.
Thursday the 6th actually sees a bump in energy, hitting 7ft by the afternoon with a combined energy of 623, but the wind is a near-gale straight onshore. It's completely blown out. By Friday, the wind eases slightly, but it's still cross-onshore and lumpy. The swell is there, but it's unsurfable.
The rest of the window is just a sad story of tiny, weak swells and bad wind angles. We get a few clean moments here and there – like Saturday afternoon the 8th with a light breeze and clean conditions – but the swell is a pathetic 1ft with barely any energy (12). You can't surf a ripple. This pattern just repeats. A little clean spell, followed by a fresh onshore breeze and a tiny, weak wave.
The water temp is about 65°F for the first reading, which is pretty normal for this time of year, but that's the only thing that's normal. The spot is fairly consistent, but it's consistently poor. This is one of those blank runs for the area. There's just nothing to get excited about.
Forget the board. The best I can say is that from the 20th of August, we see a bit of a pulse again with a 4ft swell and onshore winds, but it's still no good for us. If you're into kites, maybe the stronger wind days on the 6th or 7th would have looked interesting, but for paddle surfing, it's a hard no.
Rusty.
