Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the next couple of weeks at Westfalia in feet and miles per hour.
The pattern is a bit of a slow starter. The first few days have a lot of "marginal" written all over them. Don't even bother on Monday the 6th – it's a 5ft swell from the ENE with a short 8-second period, and it's gonna be stormy. The energy is weak (300) and the conditions are messy.
The good stuff starts to fire up towards the end of the first week. Tuesday morning, the 7th, has a 6ft ENE swell, period up to 9 seconds, and glassy conditions with a light northerly breeze. That's clean but the energy is still moderate (497). The swell builds to 7ft by Wednesday and Thursday, but the winds are cross or cross-on, keeping it from being pristine.
The standout window is the weekend. Saturday morning, the 11th of July, is the one to circle. We've got a clean 7ft NE swell, 10-second period, and absolutely flat calm – glassy conditions. The energy is strong (955). That's a morning for a bigger gun and a lot of patience. At that size and period, it's going to be powerful and a bit lumpy at a beach break, so look for a channel. Sunday morning, the 12th, is even bigger at 8ft from the ENE with a long 11-second period and again, glassy. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but 8ft is serious, expert-only territory. The energy is very strong (1363). That Sunday morning is the other gold star.
Through the second week, the swell drops but stays rideable. Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th afternoons have clean cross-off winds with 7ft and 6ft swells. Wednesday morning the 15th is another glassy, clean 6ft morning. The following weekend, the 18th, is a bit chop, but look to Monday morning, the 20th of July, for another promising window: a 7ft ENE swell with glassy conditions and strong energy (899). That's a solid long-range bet.
The water is a warm 85°F, which is about average for this time of year. Just remember, this spot is exposed and fairly consistent, but with long-period groundswell and a beach setup, the best waves will be at the points or reefs if any are around – otherwise, expect lines that break straight on the bigger days.
Rusty out.

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.
