Table - best surf conditions forecast for Westfalia over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Westfalia. Things are a bit slow to start – the first few days are pretty average, with only small energy and iffy conditions. But keep the faith, because there’s a real window of clean, powerful surf kicking off around Saturday the 11th.
The water temp is sitting at 85°F right now, which is about 1°F above the long-term average – nothing wild, just a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
On Tuesday the 7th and into Wednesday the 8th, we’ve got chest-high swell around 6ft to 6ft from the ENE with periods around 9 to 10 seconds. But the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave energy is only moderate (497 to 591). The comment says marginal, and honestly it’s not worth paddling out for – wait.
Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th see the swell push up to 7ft, still from the ENE, with moderate energy (855 to 940). But the wind stays cross or onshore, with some storms hanging around. Still not the goods.
Now, the standout: Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th are where it gets exciting. The swell hits 7ft to 8ft ENE, period 10 to 11 seconds, and the energy jumps into the strong range (1010 to 1463). The wind goes glassy on Saturday morning and Sunday morning – dead calm. That’s a big positive, you’ll get clean, lined-up waves. The water temp anomaly is no longer reported, but with that kind of ENE groundswell and zero wind, Westfalia is going to be firing. The surge size is over 7ft, so this one’s for experienced surfers only. Beginners, sit this one out.
Monday the 13th morning stays glassy with 8ft ENE swell and strong energy (1084) – another excellent window if you can get out early before the wind swings cross-onshore in the afternoon.
Tuesday the 14th drops a bit, 6ft ENE but with a clean cross-offshore breeze in the morning – worth a look if you missed the weekend. Energy is moderate (697). Afternoon gets choppy, so make it a dawny.
Wednesday the 15th through Friday the 17th sees swell varying from 5ft to 7ft – nothing huge, but a couple of clean windows pop up: Wednesday afternoon with a cross-off, Thursday morning glassy, and Friday morning with a cross-off. Energy is moderate (422 to 826). Decent options for a finesse session, especially if you’re not chasing size.
Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th drop to around 6ft ENE, with light cross-off winds on Sunday morning giving clean conditions. Energy is moderate (615). Not a standout, but a solid weekend option if you missed the big one.
Monday the 20th through Wednesday the 22nd see the swell settle at 5ft to 6ft. There’s a clean cross-off window on Tuesday the 21st morning (6ft ENE, 522 energy) and Wednesday the 22nd morning is glassy with 5ft ENE (362 energy) – small but clean, fun for a longboard or a fish.
Overall, the clear standout is Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th – that’s your session to circle on the calendar. Glassy, strong ENE groundswell, and plenty of power for the experienced crew. The rest of the fortnight has some clean moments but nothing that’ll blow your mind.
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.
