The Lowdown

Alright, let's talk about Noorderstrand. To be honest, mate, it's a pretty grim 16-day stretch ahead. The water is sitting at 70°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's a weirdly warm anomaly, but it's not going to help the waves.

The outlook is basically a blank run. There's a big gap of almost nothing surfable right from the start. We're looking at tiny, weak swells for days on end. The only time the swell nudges up to something with a bit of energy is around the 20th of August, when we see a pulse of 6ft swell from the WNW, but the combined energy of all swells directed here is only around 240 (moderate energy) to 343 (still moderate). The problem is, the wind is going to be a mess – cross-shore and cross-onshore all the way, turning it into choppy, poor surf. The period is a short 6-7 seconds, so it's just wind-chop, not a proper groundswell.

For a raw, exposed beach spot like Noorderstrand, it's a kite-surfing setup more than a paddle-surfing one when the wind picks up. The few glimpses of clean conditions with offshore ESE winds on the morning of the 13th of August are paired with a tiny 1ft swell, so it's not even worth a mention. The whole period is a write-off for decent waves. Hang tight, forecasts can change, but this one's a real stinker.

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.
