In 4 years time Wilf will be half as old as his dad. Wilf dad is 33 next year. How old is Wilf now?

If Wilf's dad is 33 next year, that means he is currently 33 - 1 = <<33-1=32>>32 years old.

In four years, Wilf's dad will be 33 + 4 = <<33+4=37>>37 years old.
At that time, Wilf will be half as old as his dad, so he will be 37 / 2 = <<37/2=18.5>>18.5 years old.
Since Wilf's age should be a whole number, he is currently 18. Answer: \boxed{18}.
