Westfalia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s check out what Westfalia’s got lined up over the next couple weeks. It’s a slow burn at first, but there’s some real gems for those who wait.

The first proper surf worth talkin’ about hits on Friday, July 3rd morning. But the real big days are further out—so hold tight.

Friday, July 3rd (morning): Swell is a solid 7 ft from the ENE with a 9-second period—got some push, but it’s not a long-range groundswell. Water temp is 85°, about 2° warmer than usual, so a touch toastier than normal. Winds are glassy—dead calm—which is a huge plus for clean lines. The combined energy is moderate at 674. For a beginner-friendly break, this is a nice entry point, but the afternoon gets messy with a 15 mph northerly cross-onshore wind.

Saturday, July 4th and Sunday, July 5th: Swell drops a bit, from 6 ft down to 5 ft, ENE. Winds are mostly cross or light cross-onshore, so not pristine. Sunday morning offers another glassy window—SSW wind at 0 mph—with 5 ft swell, but energy drops to 422. It’s okay, nothing special. Sunday afternoon fades with cross-onshore breeze and poor conditions.

Monday, July 6th to Thursday, July 9th: Marginal stretch, swell between 4 ft and 6 ft, ENE, periods 8 to 10 seconds. Light winds but often cross-on or cross-shore, so small ripples on the face. Not a total loss, but average waves. Energy picks up mid-week, hitting 725 on Thursday morning with a 6 ft, 10-second swell—still, cross wind keeps it from being great.

Now for the good stuff.

Friday, July 10th (morning): This is a highlight. Swell bumps to 7 ft from ENE, period stretches to 10 seconds, and it’s glassy again—NW wind at 3 mph, dead calm. Energy is 810, solid moderate. Clean, fun surf. Afternoon gets blown out by a 15 mph northerly, so get on it early.

Saturday, July 11th (morning): Swell pushes to 8 ft, period hits 11 seconds—that’s a longer-period groundswell, bringing more energy and better shape, though at a beach break it can get a bit straight. Wind is cross from the NW at 6 mph, light. Energy jumps to 1214—strong. This is for experienced surfers, as it’s over 7 ft.

Sunday, July 12th (morning): Now we’re talkin’. 8 ft swell from the ENE, 11-second period, and glassy—E wind at 3 mph, dead calm. Energy is 1148, strong. This is excellent for experienced surfers—clean, powerful lines. The wind is offshore, the waves have shape, and the crowd? Westfalia can get busy, so expect company. This is the top pick. Afternoon goes cross-shore, but morning is mint.

Monday, July 13th (morning): Another beauty. 8 ft ENE swell, 11-second period, glassy with NNW wind at 0 mph. Energy is 1170. Excellent for experienced surfers. Clean, punchy—another standout, second only to Sunday.

Tuesday, July 14th onward: Swell holds between 6 ft and 8 ft, ENE, periods 10 seconds. Winds light but mostly cross or cross-on, so marginal. Energy stays strong, peaking at 1241 on Thursday, July 16th morning, but cross-shore wind keeps it from being glassy.

In the second week, pattern stays similar: consistent ENE swell, 7 ft to 8 ft, with mixed light winds. Nothing as pristine as that Sunday-Monday window, but still plenty of waves. Swell stays over 7 ft, so it’s expert territory.

Bottom line: The real standouts are Sunday, July 12th morning and Monday, July 13th morning—8 ft ENE groundswell, 11-second periods, glassy. Clean, powerful surf for the experienced crew. Friday, July 10th morning is a strong third option. The rest is average to marginal, but there’s always a wave if you look.

Stay stoked,
Rusty
