The Lowdown
Alright, check it out – Rusty here. We’ve got a consistent run of ENE swell lined up for Westfalia over the next couple weeks. Water temp’s 84.2°F – right where it should be for July. This is a beginner-friendly break, fairly reliable, and it picks up swell well. Just a warning – you might run into a few other folks now and then.
Monday 13th afternoon starts us off with a glassy 6.2ft ENE swell, period around 9 seconds. Wave energy is moderate (591). Clean, easy waves. Tuesday 14th morning is even better: still glassy, 5.6ft, energy 508. Hit it early before the wind swings NNW in the afternoon and turns it choppy.
Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th are mostly cross-shore or cross-on with light winds, swell around 6.6–6.9ft, energy in the 600–800 range. Surfable but not pristine.
Friday 17th morning pushes up to 7.9ft (energy 1215 – solid moderate). That’s getting big for beginners, and the wind’s light cross-shore – better for experienced crew. Friday afternoon gets messy with moderate rain and cross-on wind.
Saturday 18th morning is a standout: 6.9ft ENE with a light cross-off breeze (NW 10 mph), energy 815, and the wave report says “expect very good surf conditions”. Clean, powerful, well-shaped – a top session for anyone comfortable with overhead waves. Saturday afternoon turns cross-on, so morning’s the call.
Sunday 19th is cross-shore all day,

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.
