The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim stretch coming up for Nordseeklinik Westerland on Sylt. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of poor surf conditions that kicks off today and runs right through until the morning of Monday, July 28th. That’s over a week and a half of nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the wind is often messy, and the wave comment is consistently "poor surf conditions." It’s a real bummer, but this kind of blank run isn't unheard of around here when the North Sea goes quiet.
The first real glimmer of hope, and honestly the only standout in the entire 16-day window, shows up on the morning of Tuesday, July 28th. The wind finally swings around to the southeast, coming straight offshore at 9 mph, which should clean things up nicely. The swell is coming from the west-southwest at 3 ft, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is weak, clocking in at 72, so don’t expect any power, but for a beginner-friendly spot, this is the best we’ll see. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 66°, which is a nice bonus. The break is fairly consistent, but it can get busy sometimes, so expect a few others with the same idea.
That Tuesday morning window is the one to watch. It’s not going to be epic, but after two weeks of nothing, a clean, offshore 3 ft wave at a beginner spot is a welcome sight.
Rusty.
