The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one for Sylt. The 16-day window is basically a write-off for any decent surf. We’ve got a lot of wind and messy conditions, and nothing that’s worth getting excited about.
The first possible surf is on Wednesday the 22nd of July, but straight away the wind is howling from the NW at 31 mph, onshore, with a messy 7 ft swell. The water is a notable 67°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only good news. The combined wave energy is moderate (429) but the quality is just poor. It stays windy and onshore right through the weekend. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are still onshore, with the swell dropping off. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are a complete loss with messy cross-onshore winds and tiny, weak swell. The energy dips to as low as 18, so you’re looking at a flat, choppy ocean.
We finally get a break from the wind on Tuesday the 28th of July. The afternoon shows a light cross-offshore wind from the SSW at 16 mph, and the conditions are described as clean. But the swell is only 3 ft from the west, with a short period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (73). It’s a clean but tiny wave. Wednesday the 29th is even cleaner, with a light offshore from the south, but the swell drops to a pathetic 2 ft. After that, it’s straight back to onshore winds and tiny waves for days.
There is a glimmer of hope on the 3rd of August (Monday morning). We see a 5 ft swell from the WNW with a long period of 11 seconds—that’s groundswell. The combined energy jumps to a strong 460. But here’s the killer: the wind is still cross-onshore from the WNW at 16 mph, making it choppy. It’s a strong, long-period swell being ruined by the wind. This is the biggest swell of the period, but it’s not a surfer’s swell with that wind. That long period (11 seconds) would normally be magic at a point break, but at a beach break like Westerland, it might break a bit too straight. The afternoon of the 3rd is the same story. After that, from the 4th of August onwards, it’s back to tiny, weak, and messy conditions.
So, what’s the call? There is no standout session. The best you’ll get is the clean but tiny 2 ft on the 29th of July morning, or the bigger but choppy 5 ft on the 3rd of August. Neither is a good bet. The whole 16-day stretch is a total blank run for quality surf. When the surf is this poor for this long, it’s more normal for the area, but it feels like a right kick in the teeth. Keep the board in the van and wait for a better forecast.
Rusty.
