The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ over the next couple of weeks for Westfalia. Don’t go getting your hopes up for a magic carpet ride straight away; we’ve got a bit of a dud stretch to sit through first.

The first decent wave of the period is a long way off, but there’s a run of solid swell and clean conditions brewing for the start of August. Hold tight.

There’s not much happening from now until the morning of Saturday, July 25th. We’ve got a few days of lumpy, rain-soaked, cross and cross-onshore junk that’s not worth paddling out for. The combined wave energy sitting in the moderate range (400 to 459), but the winds are just messy.

Saturday morning, July 25th, is where things start to look up. Westfalia will see a 5ft ENE swell pushing in with a period of 9 seconds. The winds are due to be glassy; dead calm. The combined energy reads at 339 (moderate), which gives the waves some push. The water temp here is sitting at 84°, which is about average for this time of year. This is a solid little window for a fun, clean session.

Sunday, July 26th, is a bit of a shrug – cross and cross-onshore breezes spoil things, though the swell holds around 5ft. Then Monday morning, July 27th, is another glassy stand-out: 5ft ENE swell at 9 seconds, glassy offshores from the NW. That combination is gonna look clean and lined up. Combined energy still moderate at 331. That morning is your real pick of the first week.

From Tuesday, July 28th, it goes a bit quiet again – smaller, weaker swells (4ft) and shifty winds. That stretch lasts through Wednesday, July 29th, with only a weak, glassy 4ft morning on offer – surfable, but barely worth the effort. The combined energy drops to 151.

Now... the real meat and potatoes comes in on Thursday, July 30th. We’ve got a 6ft ENE groundswell rolling in with a 9-second period and combined energy jumping to 455. The winds are light and cross-offshore in the morning. It’s a bit of a step-up in size, still manageable for intermediate surfers. That pattern builds into Friday, July 31st, where the swell hits 7ft and the energy surges to 798 (strong). The period lengthens to 10 seconds, which is a nice groundswell. Winds are cross-shore and light – a bit tricky, but very surfable. The 7ft mark is pushing into the expert zone, so beginners should sit this one out.

Then we have Saturday, August 1st – still holding solid 7-6ft NE swell, good energy (794-609). Winds are mixed cross-shore and cross-on, but the quality is still there for confident surfers.

But the standout of the whole period? Sunday morning, August 2nd. Westfalia shapes up with a 6ft ENE swell at 9 seconds, combined energy at 501 (moderate-strong), and glassy winds. It’s a beautiful prospect: good size, clean, and the crowd situation is listed as “sometimes”, so you might have some company, but it’s not going to be a zoo. This is where you want to be.

After that, the swell backs off a bit into the first week of August – still some 5-6ft days but the winds become more onshore and cross-shore again. Check Thursday afternoon, August 6th – a late glass-off with a 6ft ENE swell and energy of 543 looks promising, though it’s a long-range call.

So to sum it up: a slow start, then Monday morning July 27th is a clean, sneaky good glassy session. But the bell-ringer is Sunday morning August 2nd – glassy, consistent, solid waves. Circle that one.

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.
