Alright folks, Rusty here again, same spot – Westfalia. This time in feet and degrees Fahrenheit for you. Water temp is around 84°F, which is about average – no shock there.
Starting off Thursday, July 2nd, the swell is about 6ft from the ENE with a 9-second period, but the wind’s messy and there’s risk of thunderstorms. The energy is moderate (459–449), but the conditions are marginal. Not worth the drive.
Friday morning, July 3rd, things wake up. Swell’s at 6ft (ENE, 10 sec), wind goes light cross-offshore from the WNW. Clean, moderate energy (655) and good quality. That’s a proper funboard morning.
Saturday morning, July 4th, is more of the same – 6ft (ENE, 10 sec), clean cross-off wind, energy at 635. Another keeper.
Sunday, July 5th, is a highlight. Swell drops to 5ft, but the wind goes glassy from the ESE at 3 mph. That’s buttery. Energy’s lighter (339) but for beginners, this is perfect. Smooth as a lake.
Monday, July 6th, energy’s low (255) with cross-on wind – skip it.
Tuesday, July 7th, back to 6ft (ENE, 10 sec) but cross-on wind – surfable but not special.
Wednesday, July 8th, 6ft (ENE, 10 sec) with cross-onshore – okay energy (697) but nothing to brag about.
Thursday, July 9th, same story.
Friday, July 10th, swell pushes to 7ft (ENE, 11 sec), energy’s strong (1016). Wind’s cross-on – getting chunky for beginners.
Saturday, July 11th, swell hits 8ft (ENE, 11 sec), energy’s pumping (1309). Wind’s cross or cross-on – lumpy but powerful.
The big standout is Sunday, July 12th, morning. 8ft from the ENE (11 sec), but the wind is glassy from the ENE at 3 mph. Energy’s strong (1192) and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. This is the session.
Monday, July 13th, morning is another heater. 8ft (ENE, 11 sec) with zero wind – glassy as can be. Energy’s at 1313. Absolute gold for the experienced crew.
Tuesday, July 14th, morning, wind goes cross-off from the WNW, swell’s 7ft (ENE, 10 sec). Clean, strong energy (1003). Another top-shelf morning.
Wednesday, July 15th, and Thursday, July 16th, mornings both offer glassy to clean conditions with 7–8ft ENE swell. Thursday morning, July 16th, especially – glassy (3 mph from the NNW) and strong energy (1154). Excellent.
Friday, July 17th, swell drops to 6ft (ENE, 10 sec) but both sessions are clean with cross-off winds. A nice finish.
Best in show? Sunday morning, July 12th, and Monday morning, July 13th. Glassy, powerful, and clean. But once the swell goes over 8ft, it’s experts only. In that 7–8ft range, it’s a handful for anyone without experience. The 10–11 second periods give good shape with a bit of a lull between sets, making the paddle out a little easier.
Crowds can show up at Westfalia sometimes, so get in early for those glassy windows.
Rusty out.

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.
