The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening over the next sixteen days. I gotta be honest, from Tuesday the 1st all the way through to Tuesday the 8th, it’s pretty grim. There’s swell, but the wind is all over the shop – cross and cross-onshore – leaving the ocean all chopped up and frustrating. Not worth your time.
The light at the end of the tunnel hits on Wednesday the 9th of September at Westfalia. Wednesday morning is the one to circle on the calendar. We’re looking at a 6ft ENE groundswell with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a solid 657 (moderate to strong). The water is a comfortable 84°, right where it should be. Best part? Glassy conditions. That’ll be clean, proper surf. Thursday the 10th morning is even bigger with 7ft, still glassy, and the energy jumps to 868. That’s getting serious – not one for beginners at that size. Friday the 11th morning is still clean at 5ft, a bit more manageable.
Into the second week, Sunday the 13th offers clean, cross-offshore wind with waves around 5ft to 5ft. Monday the 14th morning has a nice glassy window with 4ft. Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th both have glassy starts again, with waves sitting around 4ft to 4ft of clean, but smaller, energy.
Pick of the trip: Wednesday the 9th morning – glassy surf at 6ft. Thursday the 10th morning – glassy at 7ft, but that one’s for the experienced crew only.
Hang tight, it gets good.

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.
