The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this stretch of coast is going through a proper flat spell. For the next week and a half, there’s barely a wave worth paddling out for. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell energy is weak. We’ve got a long gap of poor surf, but things might finally start to look up towards the very end of the run.
The first real possibility doesn’t show until Monday morning the 19th of August. That morning, the Noorderstrand picks up a clean, glassy window with a 5ft swell out of the WNW. The period is short at 6 seconds, so it’s not going to be groundswell, but the calm wind will make it look better than anything else we’ve seen. The combined energy is moderate at 132, so there’s a bit of push. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but remember, this break is exposed and can get crowded. The water temp feels about average for this time of year.
The next decent window doesn’t roll around until Sunday the 23rd of August in the morning. Again at Noorderstrand, we get a cleaner cross-offshore breeze from the ENE at 12 mph, with a 5ft swell from the NNW. The period is still short at 8 seconds, but the energy jumps to 220, which is moderate. The clean conditions will make these waves more appealing, but it’s still not a stand-out day.
Honestly, if you’re looking for the best of a quiet period, aim for the Monday morning the 19th. The glassy conditions are rare, and even with a short-period swell, it’ll be the most user-friendly surf of the entire outlook. For the rest of it, you’re mostly staring at flat water and choppy junk. That’s the way it goes sometimes.
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.
