The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but we’re switching to feet and miles for you. Let’s talk Westfalia.
It starts slow. Wednesday, 29 July, we’re looking at a tiny 3ft swell from the ENE, energy weak (101). But the morning has glassy, nearly calm air – so it’s surfable but nothing to write home about. Thursday morning, 30 July, sees the swell hit 4ft, period goes to 9 seconds, and the energy climbs (280). With clean, glassy conditions, that’s a small but fun window for beginners. Crowds are possible here. Water temp is about 83°, average for this time of year.
Friday, 31 July, brings 6ft swell, but the morning wind is cross-shore. Still, energy is picking up (574). Saturday morning, 1 August, is the first real standout. The swell jumps to 7ft from the ENE, period 10 seconds, and the energy is strong (1022). The wind goes dead calm – glassy perfection. This is excellent, but at this size it’s for experts only. Too big for beginners.
Sunday morning, 2 August, drops to 5ft, but the wind turns cross-shore again. Then we hit a dry spell from Monday 3 August to Thursday 6 August, with swell between 4ft and 5ft and mostly poor to marginal conditions. Not worth it.
Thursday afternoon, 6 August, is a bright spot. The swell is 7ft, energy strong (718), and a light cross-offshore wind cleans it up nicely. Saturday morning, 8 August, is another good one: 6ft swell, light cross-offshore, clean.
The absolute standout is Sunday morning, 9 August. Swell hits 8ft from the ENE, period 10 seconds, and the energy is very strong (1063). Winds are dead calm – glassy as it gets. This is big, powerful, expert-level surf, but clean and powerful. The long period makes paddling easier between sets.
Monday, 10 August, also delivers. Clean cross-offshore wind in the morning with 6ft swell (energy 697). The afternoon even gets a light offshore breeze. Tuesday morning, 11 August, goes glassy again with 6ft swell. Then Wednesday 12 August shows size (7ft) but it’s bumpy.
So, the real standouts are Sunday morning, 9 August and Saturday morning, 1 August. Both have that glassy wind and significant size. The rest is average, with a notable quality gap from Monday 3 August to Thursday 6 August.
Keep your eyes on those glassy mornings.
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.
