The Lowdown

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the Sylt stretch over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you, it’s a bleak run for the Nordseeklinik Westerland area. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim. There’s no real stand-out surf to get excited about, and most days are a write-off unless you’re desperate for a paddle in the whitewash.

The first actual chance of anything surfable doesn’t pop up until Wednesday the 5th of August, and even then it’s barely a whisper. The water temp is sitting around 64° – that’s pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Wednesday morning the 5th sees a light offshore breeze from the southeast, with a small 4ft NW swell rolling in. The period is short at 5 seconds, so it’s weak, but it’s clean. The combined energy reading is only 60 – that’s weak, flabby stuff. By the afternoon, the wind goes glassy – zero breeze – and the swell holds at 4ft from the NW. Still a short period, but it’s the cleanest the water will look all fortnight. The energy is 77, still weak. For a beginner, these are the only two sessions that might offer a few dribbly, crumbly waves. It’s not pretty, but it’s the best we’ve got.

Thursday the 6th of August sees a jump in size – 5ft in the morning and 5ft in the afternoon – but the wind is a fresh 19 mph from the south and then WSW, shredding the surface. The afternoon has a moderate energy reading of 214, but it’s lumpy and cross-shore chop. Not worth paddling out for.

After that, it’s back to nada. The rest of the period through to the 12th of August is a mix of onshore winds, tiny swell, and messy conditions. The only thing worth noting is the glassy offshore conditions on the 12th, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft – you’d be floating on a millpond.

So, in short, there’s no real surf to recommend here. The best on offer is the Wednesday the 5th of August, with small, clean, weak waves that a beginner might get a few rides on. Nobody else should bother. It’s a long stretch of flat and choppy – typical for this part of the world in summer when the wind doesn’t play ball.
