Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt) over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's see what the North Sea has in store for us around Sylt.
Honestly, it's a pretty grim picture for the entire 16-day window. We're looking at a long stretch of barely any surf, and when there is a bit of height, the wind is junk. It’s going to be a frustrating wait.
The first few days are a total write-off. From Saturday the 11th through to the end of the week, we're looking at tiny, weak swell with onshore winds. You'd be better off going for a run on the beach. The combined wave energy is a measly 2-7 (weak energy) for most of it, just not worth getting wet.
We get a bit of a pulse around Saturday the 18th, but it's a mess. The combined energy jumps to 190 (moderate wave energy) on Saturday afternoon with a 5ft swell from the NW, but it's onshore wind. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Then Sunday the 19th rolls around with the biggest swell of the period. We're looking at 7ft to 7ft from the NW, with a period of 8-9 seconds. That's enough to get the heart pumping, but the combined energy hits 598 (strong wave energy). The problem is the wind is howling from the NW at 19 mph, straight onshore. It’s going to be a washing machine, only for experts with a death wish in terrible conditions. The water temp is about average for the time of year at 62°F.
The best of a bad bunch is looking like Thursday the 23rd. The swell is 5ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, giving us a combined energy of 363 (moderate wave energy). The real kicker is the wind is cross-offshore from the SSW at just 9 mph. That means clean, workable waves. The break is Nordseeklinik Westerland (Sylt). It's an exposed beach break, so it won't be the most organised, but it's the only session in the whole forecast that looks half-decent. It's a beginner-friendly spot, but with 5ft swell, it's getting a bit too big for total beginners. Crowds are possible here.
After that, it fades back into tiny, weak surf for the rest of the month. Nothing else to get excited about.
Rusty, signing off.
