The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about Westfalia.
We got some waves coming, but it's a real mixed bag. The first few days are pretty weak. Monday morning has a small 4ft ENE swell, short period of 8 seconds, and not much energy (165). The wind is a little bit off, but it's not clean. Monday afternoon gets worse with a cross-onshore breeze. Tuesday morning goes glassy, which is a big deal, but the swell is still tiny at 3ft. It's rideable, but you'll be hunting for any little bump.
The one session that stands out above everything else is Thursday morning, the 10th of September. Swell jumps to a solid 7ft from the ENE, with a longer 10-second period, pumping a solid moderate amount of energy (778). The wind is glassy. That is your absolute best bet. The afternoon of the 14th of September is also a great one, with another glassy session and 6ft, 10-second swell (609 energy). Put that one on your radar too.
The rest of the run is a lot of small, messy days. From Friday the 11th onwards, the swell hangs between 4ft and 6ft, but the winds are mostly cross or onshore, making for choppy, ordinary conditions. There's a glassy window on the morning of the 16th of September with 4ft swell, but it's not the same quality. The second week is a long stretch of small, onshore slop.
Water temp is about normal for the season, nothing to worry about.
So, bottom line: the surf is mostly small and inconsistent, but if you wait for it, Thursday the 10th is a gem. The 14th is a solid backup. The rest of the time, you might be better off doing something else.
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.
