Alright, Rusty here with the Westfalia rundown.
The start is quiet. First surf shows up Sunday afternoon the 5th, but it’s a weak 4ft from the ENE with a cross-onshore breeze. Not happening.
Monday morning the 6th is your real start. A small 5ft NE swell, but the wind is glassy. Water temp is 85°, pretty normal for the season. Small but clean—good for beginners.
Tuesday the 7th morning turns on. Swell hits 6ft from the ENE, 9-second period, cross-offshore wind. Clean, moderate energy (617). Solid session potential.
The big one is Saturday the 11th. That afternoon, 7ft from the ENE, 10-second period, glassy wind. Strong energy (1071). This is excellent, clean, and for experienced surfers only. Sunday the 12th morning is even bigger—8ft, glassy, with very strong energy (1363). That’s expert territory, but perfect if you’ve got the skills.
After a few quieter days, the 15th and 16th bring glassy windows with 6ft to 7ft. The 17th has two solid sessions with cross-offshore winds and 7ft clean surf. Saturday the 18th morning is glassy with 7ft—another good one.
The 20th Monday morning finishes the run with a glassy 6ft from the ENE.
Best of the best is Saturday the 11th afternoon and Sunday the 12th morning. That’s the real deal—glassy, solid, long-period groundswell. Sunday is for pros only. Westfalia stays pretty consistent, so even the quiet spots won’t last long.
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.
