Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming for the next couple of weeks.
Truth is, it’s a tough watch right now. From Sunday the 12th all the way through to Tuesday the 22nd of July, there’s basically nothing worth suiting up for. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, and the quality is stuck on “poor.” The water temp is sitting right around average for the time of year, nothing crazy.
The one real standout in the whole 16-day window is Wednesday morning, July 22nd at Noorderstrand. That’s the one you want to plan for. We’re looking at a clean 7 ft swell from the NNW with a period of 7 seconds. The combined wave energy jumps up to 426 (that’s strong). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ENE, so the face is going to be clean and glassy. That’s a punchy, powerful wave. It’s over 5 ft, so it’s getting into expert territory – not one for beginners. The break is fairly consistent and crowds are marked as “often,” so expect some company.
That Wednesday afternoon the wind shifts and the session gets messy fast. Thursday the 23rd looks onshore and lumpy again, so don’t plan on a big run.
Later in the second week, on Sunday afternoon, July 26th, there’s a flicker of hope. A 6 ft swell from the west with a period of 6 seconds comes through. The energy is moderate at 207, and the wind is clean and cross-offshore from the ESE. The conditions are called marginal, so it’s a maybe. Worth a peek if you’re keen, but it’s not on the same level as that Wednesday morning.
Bottom line: brace for a flat spell, then nail Wednesday the 22nd in the morning. The 26th is a backup option. Long-range forecasts can shift, but right now that Wednesday has the juice.
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.
