The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk Westfalia.
Water’s warm, right around 84°F, pretty normal for the season.
Over the next two weeks, we’re seeing a steady ENE swell, mostly in the 3 to 6 ft range, but the wind’s going to be the boss. The combined swell energy runs from moderate to strong, but it’s not all clean.
The best bet is Saturday morning, August 29. Glassy, clean 5 ft ENE swell with a 9-second period. That’s a fun, user-friendly size for a beginner spot. Energy reading’s 385, solid moderate punch.
Sunday morning, August 30 is another good one – glassy again, 4 ft ENE swell (9 seconds, energy 238). Nice and clean.
Looking ahead, Saturday morning, September 5 and Sunday morning, September 6 both have glassy conditions with 5 ft ENE swell (9 seconds, energy 339-378). A bit further out, but promising.
The afternoons are generally junked up by cross-onshore winds, and thunderstorms are a real risk most days. The mornings are the only game in town. For a spot that breaks fairly consistently, there are a few decent windows. Get on the early ones.
Rusty.

Information about the Westfalia Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Westfalia provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Westfalia can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Westfalia surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Westfalia) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Westfalia may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
