The Lowdown
Alright, what’s the score in feet and miles? Let’s break it down.
First, it’s a pretty quiet stretch at Noorderstrand. We’re looking at a long dry spell to start, with a lot of cross-shore and onshore wind messing up the surface. The water temp is about 69°, which is 4° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a big jump, so it’s notably warm.
The only real bright spot shows up on Tuesday the 15th of September. For the Tuesday morning session, we’ve got a standout. Swell is 6 ft out of the WNW, with a clean offshore wind from the SE. That’s the ticket. The energy is moderate at 297, and with a light breeze, it’ll be glassy. This one is for the experienced surfers – over 5 ft, it starts to get too big for beginners, and this is pushing 6 ft. Being an exposed beach, it’ll handle that size well with the clean wind.
Tuesday afternoon, the wind goes onshore and the quality drops. Wednesday the 16th is back to small, messy waves.
So, in this whole 16-day window, there’s really just one morning to aim for: that Tuesday. The rest is a bust. But hey, one good session can save the whole stretch.
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.
