The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day outlook for Noorderstrand is a tough one. We’ve got a real dry spell ahead. The whole forecast window is basically a write-off for any decent surf, with every single entry marked as poor conditions and a score that doesn’t warrant a paddle out. We’re looking at a solid 16-day gap with nothing to recommend.
The water is sitting at 69°F – that’s a whopping 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year, which is very unusual. You’d think that might be a plus, but with the wind and swell not playing ball, it doesn’t help.
A few little pulses of energy show up, like around Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th of July, when the combined energy hits 133 and 176 (moderate) with swell around 4ft from the NNW. But the wind is cross-on or onshore, blowing 12-16 mph, which will chop it up. The period is short, around 5-7 seconds, so it’s weak, local windswell, not proper groundswell. It’s just not going to be any fun.
Later in the forecast, on the 29th of July, we see a 5ft SW swell with a bit more energy (153), but again, it’s cross-onshore with a light breeze, and the period is still short at 6 seconds. The wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.”
Given the persistent onshore and cross-shore winds, the short-period, messy swell, and the beach break setup, this whole period honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s just nothing here for a surfer to get excited about. The outlook is a blank run, which is more normal for an area that doesn’t get consistent, clean swell.
Don’t hang your hopes on this one – keep an eye on the forecast, things can 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.
