Westfalia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk Westfalia. It’s the only break in the mix, and it’s a solid beginner-friendly spot that runs fairly consistent. The water’s about 84°F, which is dead average for this time of year, nothing unusual.

The action starts Friday the 17th of July with a 8ft ENE swell, 10-second period, and moderate energy (1022). The morning’s a bit bumpy with cross-onshore wind, but the afternoon turns glassy. That’s the real gem – clean, glassy surf with a 7ft ENE swell. It’s not too big for beginners, but it’s got plenty of punch.

Saturday the 18th drops to 7ft ENE, but the wind is cross-onshore all day, so it’s not as clean. Energy stays moderate (904 and 838). Crowds are “sometimes” – you might see a few heads.

Sunday the 19th morning is glassy again with 7ft ENE swell, energy 940. That’s another top-notch window. The afternoon gets bumpy, but the morning is sweet.

Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st keep the glassy mornings rolling with 7ft and 8ft ENE swells, energy in the 900s. Winds are light and glassy – clean waves all the way. Tuesday afternoon sees a shift to WSW wind, still glassy, with a 7ft ENE swell, period dropping to 9 seconds.

Wednesday the 22nd morning is glassy with 7ft ENE swell (942 energy), but the afternoon gets cross-shore wind and a 8ft swell with a shorter 9-second period. The quality drops.

Thursday the 23rd morning is 7ft ENE with cross wind, but the afternoon gets a clean cross-off breeze from the west on a 7ft NE swell. That’s a solid session.

Friday the 24th, the swell drops to 6ft NE, period down to 8 seconds, and the wind picks up. The energy drops to 428 and 373. The surf is marginal.

Saturday the 25th, morning is 5ft ENE with a clean cross-off wind, but the afternoon goes cross-onshore and poor. The energy is low (273 and 362).

Sunday the 26th, the swell bounces back to 6ft ENE with a 10-second period in the morning, but the wind is cross, and the afternoon is cross-onshore. Energy is moderate (590 and 431), but quality is just okay.

Monday the 27th morning is glassy with a 5ft ENE swell (306 energy) – clean and small. The afternoon goes onshore and poor.

From Tuesday the 28th through Wednesday the 29th, the swell is tiny – 4ft down to 3ft, period of 8 seconds, and the wind is mostly cross or onshore. Energy is low (184 down to 150). The surf is poor, and it looks more like a kite surfing day. There’s a few days of nothing here.

Thursday the 30th brings a little pulse: 5ft ENE swell, 9-second period, and the morning is glassy. Energy 407 – moderate. That’s a clean little window.

Friday the 31st of July is a standout. Morning goes glassy with a 6ft ENE swell, 10-second period, energy 635. Clean as a whistle. The afternoon gets cross-onshore, but the morning is the call.

Saturday the 1st of August finishes strong with a cross-off wind and 6ft ENE swell both morning and afternoon, energy around 648 and 635. Clean conditions, good shape, and the swell direction matches the optimum. This is the best of the whole forecast – consistent, clean, and fun.

The top picks are Friday the 17th afternoon, Sunday the 19th morning, Monday the 20th morning, Tuesday the 21st morning, and then Friday the 31st morning and Saturday the 1st of August. The big winner is Saturday the 1st of August – clean, cross-off wind, and a solid groundswell that will peel nicely at this exposed beach break.
