The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for the local stretch. I've got to be honest with you, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for this area. We are staring down a long, flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for. There are no standout sessions, no hidden gems, just a whole lot of waiting. The first surfable wave we might see isn’t until Friday the 25th, which leaves us with a brutal gap of about two weeks with absolutely no recommendations. That’s a tough run.
The first real glimmer, and it’s barely a glimmer, comes on Friday morning, the 25th of September. There will be some chest-high swell rolling in, about 4ft from the North, with a period of 7 seconds. The energy is moderate, sitting at 110. The real kicker here is that the wind is expected to be light from the East, blowing cross-offshore, so it should be clean. But honestly, the water is still going to be very ordinary. The wave energy is weak for the most part, and this is the only day that even cracks a score of 1 out of 10 for surfable conditions. It's not going to be great, just the best of a bad bunch. Later that Friday afternoon, the wind goes glassy, but the swell drops to 3ft.
If you are a beginner, that Friday morning could be a mellow option, but don't expect any power. For everyone else, this is a period to tune up your gear and wait for a proper groundswell. This area gets exposed to the NW, and we just aren't seeing any consistent fetch in the forecast.
The water temperature is sitting at 68°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, a solid 4°F above average, so at least you won't be freezing while you sit there waiting for a wave that isn't coming.
Honestly, with that kind of onshore wind we see for most of the period and the poor quality surf, the whole setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer looking for a consistent blow than a paddle surfer trying to catch a ride.
Keep your eyes on the horizon, but don't hold your breath.
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.
