Alright, mate, let’s break down the Noorderstrand outlook. I’m gonna be real with you – this stretch from July 8th through July 23rd is a rough one. The first wave that even looks rideable shows up on Wednesday afternoon, July 8th, but it’s a struggle. The whole 16-day span is full of tiny, choppy swell with nothing that gets the blood going. There are long gaps of days where the swell is so small and the wind so messy that you’re better off staying dry.
Noorderstrand faces the north-west, but the swell is pathetic. On Wednesday the 8th, we’ve got a 2 ft swell from the NNW with a short, weak period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is just 24 – that’s weak. The wind is blowing straight offshore from the NNW at 9 mph, which sounds sweet, but there’s no power behind the waves. The water is way warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 67°F with a 6°F anomaly – that’s very unusual, feels like a heated pool.
Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th are more of the same: 1.0 ft to 2 ft slop with cross-onshore winds building in the afternoons, turning the surface into a textured mess. The period barely hits 7 seconds. The combined energy never cracks triple digits. By Saturday the 11th afternoon, the swell pushes to 3 ft but with a 4-second period (pure windswell junk) and a 19 mph cross-onshore wind. That’s not surfing; that’s a washing machine.
Sunday the 12th afternoon sees the swell hit 5 ft with a 6-second period and the combined energy at 125 – that’s moderate energy at least – but the wind is a nasty 22 mph cross-onshore. With the beach setup and onshore wind, this is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The second week, from Monday the 13th through Thursday the 23rd, it stays poor. Swell heights bounce between 0.7 ft and 3 ft, periods stay short (3 to 7 seconds), and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore. A few mornings see light offshore breezes, like Wednesday the 16th with a 6 mph WNW wind and 2 ft swell, but the energy is tiny (15). No standouts, no consistency.
The only thing worth saying is that Noorderstrand is fairly consistent in its inconsistency – so a long blank run like this is normal for the area. If you’ve got a kite, the afternoons might be interesting, but for paddling, save your energy.

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.
