The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest – this is a tough stretch for a paddle surfer. We’re looking at a real dry spell, with no proper surf to speak of for the next week or so. The first week is a write-off: gusty cross and onshore winds, messy chop, and weak, disorganised swell. You’d be fighting a losing battle out there. The swell energy during this time is laughable, with combined energy readings barely scraping triple digits on a few afternoons, and most of the time sitting in the weak range (20 to 111). Honestly, this setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than for trying to catch a proper wave on a surfboard. There’s a couple of mornings with clean conditions, like Sunday the 6th of September, where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 5ft with a short period (6 seconds) and the energy is a modest 100 – it’s surfable, but very ordinary.
The real story, and the only standout in this whole 16-day forecast, is the morning of Tuesday the 8th of September. Now, this is *promising*. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is light and offshore from the south, which will groom the face beautifully. The combined energy climbs to a moderate 302. This is the morning to circle in the calendar for Noorderstrand. It’s still a beginner-friendly size, so it won't be too big, but that clean, cross-off wind will make for some fun, peaky waves.
After that, the outlook fades out again. The morning of Wednesday the 9th offers a glimmer with clean offshore wind from the SE and a 4ft swell, but the period is short (5 seconds) and the energy is low (88), so it’s nothing to get too excited about. The rest of the second week falls away to tiny, weak swell and mostly onshore or clean but gutless conditions.
So, to sum it up: wait for the morning of the 8th of September. That’s your window. The water temperature is about average for the time of year here, so nothing unusual to report on that front. Everything else is a hard pass.
Keep the faith, Rusty.

Information about the Noorderstrand Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Noorderstrand provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Noorderstrand can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Noorderstrand 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 (Noorderstrand) 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 Noorderstrand 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.
