Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
We've got a solid run of swell lining up at Westfalia, with a bit of a slow start. The first few days are a bit of a write-off, with marginal conditions and questionable tides on Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th. The swell is there, around 6 ft to 7 ft from the ENE, but the wind's just not playing ball. It's not until Friday morning the 10th that things start to clean up. That's when we see a cross-offshore breeze kicking in with a 7 ft ENE swell at 10 seconds, and the energy is building nicely (904). The water's a toasty 84°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but nothing too wild.
The real standout window is shaping up around Saturday the 11th. Saturday morning is looking prime—glassed off, a 7 ft ENE swell, and the combined energy is solid (873). That's the session to circle. The wind is dead calm, so expect some clean, lined-up waves. It's a beginner-friendly spot, so that 7 ft swell will be a good push for progressing surfers, but it's not too big to be intimidating.
We'll see another nice window pop up on Saturday the 18th. The morning of the 18th is looking excellent for experienced surfers, with a 8 ft ENE swell and a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is cranking (1063), so that's a bigger, more powerful day. This one is for the crew who know what they're doing.
There's a bit of a lull in the middle of the second week, but the run from the 18th onward keeps the swell in the water. The 19th has a nice afternoon session with a cross-off wind and a clean 6 ft set, and the 23rd shows a glassy morning with a smaller 5 ft wave, which would be a fun, mellow end to the run.
Overall, the pick of the weeks is Saturday the 11th for the glassy, clean conditions, and Saturday the 18th for the bigger, more powerful stuff. Keep your eyes on the sky, but there's some good waves to be had.
Rusty.

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.
