Table - best surf conditions forecast for Noorderstrand over the next 16 days.
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Noorderstrand over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak outlook for a while. The surf is tiny and the wind is nearly always from the wrong direction, so for the first two weeks there’s nothing worth paddling out for. There’s a big gap of no real surf until we get towards the end of the period. The waves are just too small and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, making a mess of things. It’s the kind of stretch where you’d be better off doing something else unless you’re desperate for a float.
The only time things start to look even a little interesting is on Thursday morning, July 23rd. We’ve got a pulse of swell coming in from the west at 4 ft, with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is still weak at 96, so it’s not gonna be powerful, but the wind is light and cross-off from the northeast, making it clean. The water temperature is a whopping 67°, which is 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s really unusual, it feels like a summer bath compared to the average. This is about as good as it gets, but it’s still ordinary at best. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, but you’ll likely have company as crowds are often around. The optimum swell direction is from the northwest, and this is coming from the west, so it’s not a perfect match. Still, for a quick session on a clean, small wave, it’s the only real window.
After that, Friday morning the 24th is a similar story, but the wind is already getting cross-onshore, so it’s not as clean. The rest of the period just fades out again into tiny, choppy junk.
So, to be blunt: there’s no standout session here. The best you’ll get is a small, clean wave on Thursday morning, July 23rd. That’s it. The rest of the forecast is a write-off for paddle surfing. The setup is so consistently wind-affected and weak that it might actually be more interesting for kite surfing than surfboards.

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.
