Spot guide
Westerland is a W-facing beach break in Sylt, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It picks up swell from SW and W to NNW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 68% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the E: light winds or E breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while W onshores chop it up.
