The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks. Gotta keep it real: the whole 16 days are looking pretty flat. There’s no real swell to speak of, and the wind’s just not playing ball. The first surf recommendation doesn’t come in until Thursday, July 23rd, and it’s a rough one.
So, starting at Noorderstrand on that Thursday, the swell is a weak 4 ft from the northwest, with a short period of 7 seconds. The energy is low, clocking in at (140). The wind is onshore from the northwest at 12 mph, making it choppy and messy. The water is a notable 68°, which is about 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – really unusual. But that won’t save the surf. For a beginner spot, this is just a rough day.
The rest of the week is a bust. Friday, the swell drops to 2 ft, wind stays cross-onshore. Saturday and Sunday are the same story: tiny waves of 1 ft to 2 ft, with onshore winds. The energy is pathetic, barely breaking (30). Monday we get a 2 ft swell with a rain shower, but the wind is still onshore. It’s a grind.
We get a little hope on Wednesday, July 30th. We finally see an offshore wind from the ESE at 9 mph, but the swell is only 0.7 ft with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a long period for a tiny wave, so it’ll be a bit more lined up, but there’s no power. The energy is a measly (11). It’s clean for a longboard, but you’ll be struggling for a ride. Then on Friday, August 1st, we get a glassy morning with 1 ft. That’s the best of the whole run, and it’s not much.
The first week of August is more of the same. A couple of small pulses of 3 ft on the 5th and 6th, but the wind is onshore from the northwest, so it’s blown out. The energy gets up to a moderate (74) on the afternoon of the 5th, but with that onshore wind, it’s just a choppy mess. The final day, Friday, August 7th, shows a clean morning with a light NE breeze, but the swell is only 1 ft.
There’s no real standout here. The best wave is probably the Wednesday, July 30th morning, with that offshore wind and clean conditions, but the wave height is tiny. It’s a true glassy day for a longboard, but you’ll be scratching for anything. The water is unusually warm, which is a nice bonus, but the surf just isn’t there. It’s a long flat spell, and for this area, it’s a normal run of bad luck. We’ll have to wait for the weather to change.
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.
