The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for our stretch of coast for the next couple of weeks. I’ve got to be straight with you: it’s a rough patch. The first real surf we see isn’t until the 22nd of August, and honestly, that’s a long time to wait. From now until then, it’s mostly flat and messy, with the wind doing its best to ruin any little bump that rolls in. There’s a bit of swell building around the 19th and 20th, but it’s coming with strong onshore winds and rain, so it’s going to be a churning, blown-out mess. Not worth getting wet for, unless you’re a kite surfer.
The water temp is sitting at 70°F, which is a serious 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a big deal, really unusual. You’ll be surprised how warm it feels when you finally get in.
The first actual session to think about is the morning of Saturday the 22nd. Finally, we get a bit of a break. The wind drops right out, going glassy. Swell is small, only 3ft, but it’s coming from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is weak, but it’s clean. The conditions are described as “surfable but very ordinary”, so yeah, it’s not a classic, but it’s the only game in town. The tide will be doing its thing, but with that glass, you might just find a fun little bank if you’re patient. The swell direction is NNW, which is a bit north of the optimum NW for this spot, so it won’t be at its best, but it’s something.
The rest of that weekend and into the following week just fades away again. The swell drops back down to nothing and the wind swings onshore again. There’s no other standout in the whole window. It’s a drought, plain and simple. The crowds might be thin, but that’s cold comfort when there’s no waves.
So, keep your board in the car, but don’t be in a rush. The 22nd morning is your one shot for a clean, if small, surf. Beyond that, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, and this long stretch of poor surf often doesn’t last forever, but right now, it’s looking bleak.
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.
