The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be honest from the get-go: this is a tough stretch ahead for Noorderstrand. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for decent waves. There’s a massive gap of surf that’s just not worth paddling out for, right through until the very end of the period. The water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, about 70°F, which is over three degrees above average — that’s very unusual.
We’ve got a long, long run of poor surf conditions from Sunday, August 2nd all the way through to Saturday, August 15th. Swell heights barely tickle the 1 ft to 3 ft mark for most of that, with short, weak periods. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, keeping things choppy and messy. The combined energy stays low, with values mostly under 80 — weak stuff. There’s a small bump on Wednesday, August 5th afternoon, where the swell hits 5 ft from the WSW, but with a fresh cross-shore wind of 22 mph, it’s a lumpy, blown-out mess. The energy climbs to 141, but it’s not for surfing — it’s more of a kitesurf setup if anything.
The only glimmer comes right at the end. On Sunday, August 16th afternoon, we finally see something surfable, with a 5 ft swell from the WSW and a light cross-offshore breeze. The conditions are described as “surfable waves but very ordinary,” with a score of just 1 out of 10. Still, it’s the best we’ve got. The energy is moderate at 157, and the period is short at 6 seconds, so it won’t be a thing of beauty, but it’s clean. The next morning, Monday, August 17th, offers a little more promise with a 4 ft WNW swell and glassy conditions — light wind from the SSE. That’s the standout. For a break that’s fairly consistent, this is a real dry spell, but it’s not unheard of for the area. Keep an eye on those last two days.
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.
