The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what this stretch of the North Sea has to offer for us.
Honestly, it’s a bleak outlook for the next little while. We’re looking at a long stretch of junk with no real surf to speak of for the first several days. The water temperature at Nordseeklinik Westerland is sitting at 63°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real swell pulse we see is ramping up around Saturday the 18th of July, but it’s coming with a nasty onshore gale. Saturday morning we’ve got 6ft of swell from the NW, bumping up to 8ft by the afternoon with a combined energy of 931 (moderate energy). The issue is that the wind is screaming from the NW at 28 mph. That’s going to be a washing machine out there. Sunday the 19th is similar, with 7ft swell and 22 mph onshore wind. The wave energy is strong (781), but the quality is going to be pure mush. The heights are over 5ft, so it’s not for beginners, and with those winds, it’s honestly only going to be interesting for the kite surfers.
After that, the swell drops off quickly. By Monday the 20th, we’re back down to 4ft, but the 25 mph onshore wind is still a problem. The rest of the forecast period is a total flat spell. From Tuesday the 21st onward, the swell heights are tiny, mostly under 3ft, with periods under 8 seconds. That’s just wind chop, not surf.
There is a brief window on Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd where the wind turns offshore and cross-offshore from the SSW, and the conditions are described as "clean." But the swell is only 3ft and dropping to 3ft, with a short period of 5 to 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (57 and 75). It’s small, weak, and won’t have any punch. Hardly worth a paddle.
The bottom line is that there is no standout session in this 16-day window. We have a long, flat gap with no real recommendations. It’s one of those times where the North Sea just goes quiet. Forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a good time to wax the longboard and hope for something better next week.
