The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cookin’ at Westfalia.
First off, the water’s about 83°F, which is dead normal for now—nothing unusual. The first several days are a total bust. From the 2nd through the weekend, it’s small, weak, and messy, so don’t even bother paddling out till things change.
The one real bright spot is Thursday morning, September 10th. We’re looking at a clean 7ft swell from the ENE with a 10-second period, and it’s dead glassy—calm wind, no chop. The combined energy sits at 746, which is solid moderate power. This break sees the swell coming from the right direction, so expect some proper, lined-up waves. That’s the morning to circle on the calendar.
After that, it fades quick. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th drop to 4ft to 5ft with cross and cross-onshore breezes—nothing worth rushing for. A couple of mornings still have some appeal: Sunday morning, September 13th shows 5ft with a light cross-offshore wind, and Monday morning, September 14th has the same 5ft but glassy. Both have energy around 441. Solid enough for a dawn session.
By the second week, it’s petering out. Tuesday the 15th morning has a glassy 4ft but only 264 energy. Then it’s downhill to tiny 2ft to 3ft surf with light onshore wind through the 17th. A real snoozer.
Bottom line: the 10th is your best bet—get out there while it’s clean.

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.
