The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with you. It’s a tough stretch for Noorderstrand. I’ve got the whole 16-day window in front of me and there isn’t a single recommendation – not one. The water is sitting at 69°F right now, which is a solid 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s pretty unusual. But honestly, the surf just isn’t cooperating. From Sunday July 19 right through to Monday August 3, every single forecast shows poor conditions. The swell bumps up a bit on the 28th – 5ft from the NNW with a combined energy of 176 – but it’s cross-on with a moderate breeze, choppy, and the period is only 6 seconds. That’s not going to be any fun. Later, on Sunday August 2, there’s 5ft from the north, but again cross-on and messy. The only glimmer is Monday August 3 morning: glassy conditions with a light wind, but the swell is tiny at 2ft and period 6 seconds. That’s about as flat as it gets. Since Noorderstrand is fairly consistent around here, it tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can change. But for now, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. Keep an eye on the next few days – sometimes a shift in the wind can turn things around.
Stay hopeful,
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.
