The Lowdown
Righto, let's have a look at what's on offer around here. To be honest, it's a pretty grim run for the next couple of weeks. Noorderstrand is the only spot in the frame, and it's not giving us much to work with.
The water is sitting at a notable 69°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing your toes off while you're staring at flat lines.
We're starting with a big fat zero. The first few days are a write-off. Thursday and Friday are tiny, with weak energy readings barely hitting double digits. The swell is all over the place, short period, and the wind is doing no favours. It's a long gap of nothingness until we see a bit of size towards the end of the first week.
The first real pulse of swell comes through on Saturday, 29th August. The morning sees a 5ft swell from the WSW, but the combined energy is still only moderate (130). The wind is a fresh cross-shore, which will be lumpy and messy. By the afternoon, the wind backs off to a moderate cross-off, cleaning things up a bit as the swell drops to 4ft. It's still not great, but it's the best we've seen so far. The next day, Sunday, is a similar story, a bit more size but a fresh cross-shore wind making it a mess.
We then hit another dry spell. The next notable event is on Saturday, 5th September. The swell picks up to 8ft from the WSW, with a strong cross-shore wind. The energy is getting up there (532), but the conditions are blown out. This is expert territory only, and even then, it's going to be a battle. The afternoon is slightly smaller at 7ft but still messy.
After that, it's a mix of small, onshore slop and a few pulses of bigger, wind-affected swell. The last day in the forecast, Friday, 11th September, shows some promise with a 6ft groundswell from the SW and 274 units of energy. The wind is light and onshore from the NNW, which is about as good as it gets in this run. It's still a few weeks out, so keep an eye on it, but it's the only day that looks even close to rideable.
Honestly, there's nothing here I'd paddle out for. The wind is consistently bad, the swell is either too small or blown out, and the breaks are all exposed. You'd be better off with a kite if you're desperate for a fix. For the rest of us, it's a waiting game.

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.
