Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s lay it out for you.

Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days are a tough watch for decent surf around here. It’s a long, quiet stretch with very little to get excited about. The first sign of any real swell doesn’t show up until Sunday the 12th, and even then, it’s not great. There’s a gap of almost no surfable waves from now until then.

The only spot in the game is Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt). It’s a beginner-friendly beach break that’s fairly consistent but exposed to the west. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.

Let’s run through it. We start flat. Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th are tiny, onshore, and messy – forget it. Sunday morning the 12th sees a bump in swell to 4 ft from the NW with a short period of 8 seconds and moderate wave energy (188), but it’s onshore wind. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a light cross-off breeze and smaller 3 ft swell, but it’s still only surfable in a very ordinary way. The energy drops to 97.

Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th are back to small, weak, and mostly cross-shore junk. Wednesday the 15th has a tiny 0.3 ft groundswell with a period of 10 seconds and clean offshore wind from the ESE, but there’s no push to it – energy is only 3. That’s a tease, not a session.

The next week has a few pulses of size, but the wind is a killer. Monday the 20th brings 4 ft NW swell but it’s blown out by onshore wind. Then Tuesday the 21st sees a bigger 7 ft WNW swell with a period of 8 seconds and strong wave energy (464-515), but the wind is fresh onshore at 18-22 mph. That’s ugly, messy, and only for the hardcore if you’re desperate. Wednesday the 22nd has a strong cross-off breeze with 4 ft NW swell and moderate energy (196), but it’s still a poor surf call.

Honestly, if you’re looking for a standout, there isn’t one. The best you’ll get is a marginal, average session on Sunday afternoon the 12th if you’re really keen. The rest of the window is either flat, too windy, or just plain poor. If you've got a kite, the bigger, windier days on the 21st and 22nd might look more interesting than a paddle.

Stay patient, mates. It’ll turn around eventually.

Rusty.
