The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the same story in feet and Fahrenheit.
The Nordseeklinik Westerland stretch on Sylt is looking baked for a solid stretch. We’re staring down a 13-day run of poor surf, all onshore breezes and lumpy conditions. The water is 67°, which is much warmer than average for this time of year, but that won’t help you catch a wave.
The first real opportunity doesn’t show up until Thursday, July 30th. The morning is still shaky, but the afternoon cleans up nicely. We’ll have a light, cross-offshore breeze from the South at just 3 mph, giving us clean waves. The swell is a solid 8 ft from the West, with a 8-second period. The combined wave energy is strong at 829. This is a beach break, so that period is fine, but at 8 ft, it’s too big for beginners. Just a heads-up, crowds are possible.
Friday, July 31st morning looks good too. Clean conditions with a cross-offshore wind from the ENE at 12 mph. The swell is 8 ft from the WNW, with a 9-second period, and energy is up to 900 (strong). Again, this is for the experienced crew only. The afternoon turns into a mess with a strong onshore wind, so get your session in early.
Looking into the first week of August, Saturday, August 1st morning is a monster. A 10 ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period. The energy is a very strong 1226. But the wind is cross-onshore, and the forecast says it’s simply too big for this break. That’s heaving, expert-only stuff, and it’ll be choppy. The afternoon is even worse. Sunday, August 2nd, still has 8 ft to 8 ft groundswell from the WNW, but the onshore winds are back in force, so it’s blown out.
Your best bet is Thursday afternoon, July 30th. Clean, solid size, and good energy. Friday morning is a close second. For the first two weeks, the wind and swell combo is so rough that it’s better suited for kite surfing than regular surfing.
Hold tight, target that Thursday, and don’t expect much else.
Rusty.
