The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s be real – this 16-day stretch for Noorderstrand is a total dud. There’s a big gap of nearly two weeks from the start before we see anything that’s even surfable, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about.
The water temp is about 69°F, which is a massive 7°F warmer than average for this time of year – that’s really unusual, so at least the water will feel nice.
From Saturday 18 July all the way through Wednesday 29 July, forget it. Swell heights are tiny, mostly 1-5ft, and periods are short – 4 to 7 seconds – so it’s all weak, wind-driven junk. The combined energy is in the low hundreds at best, meaning weak to moderate juice. Winds are onshore or cross-onshore from the NW or NNW, so every session is choppy and messy. Every single day scores a zero out of ten.
Thursday 30 July morning is the only time you might want to look. We’ve got a 5ft swell from WNW, but the period is only 5 seconds – still short period. The wind is light and offshore from the SSE, so the surface will be clean. Energy is 103, which is moderate. The report says “surfable but very ordinary,” and that’s the best we get – a one out of ten. Noorderstrand (Netherlands) is an exposed beach break that’s fairly consistent and often has a crowd, but with conditions this bad, you won’t be fighting for waves.
Thursday afternoon and Friday 31 July see the swell climb to 5-6ft from NW with 7-8 second periods, energy hitting 373 – that’s moderate to strong. But the wind goes onshore or cross-onshore again, so it’ll be blown out. Saturday 1 August has a 6ft swell from NNW, energy at 464, but cross-shore winds from the NE and then strong cross-onshore ruin the surface. These days are too big and messy for beginners, and even experienced surfers won’t love the chop.
Sunday 2 August the swell drops back under 3ft with energy fading. Wind stays poor. The whole period offers nothing with clean, offshore winds and decent swell – the 30 July morning is as close as it gets, and that’s still ordinary.
This kind of quiet run is pretty normal for a beach break in summer. Forecasts can change, but for now, don’t bother waxing up.
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.
