Westfalia Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Westfalia over the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but don’t write it off just yet. The first real chance to get wet comes Sunday morning, July 26. It’s glassy out there, with a 5ft swell from the ENE at 9 seconds. The water’s sitting at 84°, which is about average for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (346). It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, and while the swell direction isn’t a perfect match for the optimum NE, it’s still a decent little window. Winds are light and variable, so expect clean, small waves. Keep an eye on the risk of thunderstorms though.

After that, things go quiet. Monday through Wednesday are messy–cross-shore winds, smaller swell dropping to 4ft, and the energy fades (down to 143). Not worth paddling out for.

Then Thursday morning, July 30, brings a bit of life back. Another glassy session with 5ft ENE swell, period at 9 seconds, and moderate energy (362). It’s clean, but the window is tight. The afternoon gets chopped up by onshore wind.

The real standout is Saturday morning, August 1. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the ENE at 10 seconds, with strong energy (725). It’s a cross-shore wind, not perfect, but the size and power will have some punch. This is the best of the first week–bigger, more consistent, and with enough period to shape up. It’s a beginner-friendly break, so if you’re keen, this is your window.

Sunday morning, August 2, is glassy again with 5ft, but it’s a step down. Still fun.

The second week brings some promising but less certain options. Thursday morning, August 6, looks like the highlight: glassy, 6ft ENE swell at 10 seconds, strong energy (711). That’s a solid, clean swell. Friday morning, August 7, is similar but with cross-shore winds.

Then Sunday morning, August 9, is a real gem: 7ft ENE swell at 10 seconds, very strong energy (810), and a cross-offshore wind from the WNW. That’s clean, powerful, and well-shaped. The period is moderate, so it should hold up nicely. This is the best on offer across the whole outlook–big, clean, and with plenty of energy. The water’s still warm, and the crowds are “sometimes,” so you might have some company but it’s not a zoo.

Monday morning, August 10, is still decent with 6ft and cross-shore wind, but it’s a step down from Sunday.

All in all, if you’re picking one session, make it Sunday morning, August 9. That’s the one to circle.

Rusty.
