The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s happening on Sylt.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the next 16 days are a tough watch for surfers at Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt). The whole period is a write-off. There’s no quality surf on offer at all. Every single window gets flagged as poor surf conditions, and the scores back that up. We’re looking at a long, barren stretch from now all the way through to the end of the month.

The first few days are tiny. Thursday morning, July 16, we’re looking at a pathetic 0.7 ft swell from the NNW with a 4-second period—hardly enough to get your wetsuit wet. The combined energy is just 2, so there’s nothing doing. Wind is a light cross-off from the S at 6 mph, so it’s clean, but there’s simply no wave to ride.

Friday and Saturday get a little bigger, but the wind turns nasty. By Saturday morning, July 18, the swell jumps to 7 ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy shoots up to 452, which is moderate, but the onshore wind is screaming from the NW at 28 mph. That’s a strong breeze, and the surf is blown out. Saturday afternoon gets even worse—8 ft swell, 1281 energy, but with a near gale cross-onshore, it’s a mess. Only experts would even consider it, and even then, it’s not worth it.

There’s a brief moment on Sunday morning, July 19, with 4 ft WNW swell and 9-second period, 222 energy, and a gentle onshore breeze. It’s not horrible, but it’s not good either. The water temp is about normal for the time of year, nothing unusual.

From there, it’s a mix of onshore winds and weak, choppy waves. The crowd profile is “sometimes,” so you’d have company, but the quality just isn’t there. This break is exposed to the W, and the optimum swell direction is W, but the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, ruining any potential.

The second week stays poor. We get a few days with swell around 4 ft to 6 ft, but the wind is relentless. By the 26th of July, there’s a morning with a cross-off breeze from the SSE and 5 ft swell, which is clean, but the wave energy is low (181) and the period is only 6 seconds, so it’s weak and short. The setup is a beach break, and with the short-period swell, it’s going to be weak and fat.

Bottom line: if you’re looking to paddle, you’re out of luck. The wind is strong and consistent, so if you’re into kite surfing, this might look interesting, but for a surfboard, it’s a no-go. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a long, blank run.

Rusty.
