The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Noorderstrand.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. The forecast shows a long, dry spell with very little wave energy coming through. We're talking days of flat, junk surf. The first real sign of anything surfable doesn't show up until the morning of the 19th of September, and even then, it's a weak offering.
For the first week and a half, from the 8th of September right through to the 18th, it's basically a write-off. The winds are mostly cross or onshore, and the swell is tiny, with wave heights well under 3 ft. The combined wave energy is weak, often in the low double digits or single digits. You'd be looking at a lot of white noise and chop. The water temperature on the 8th of September was 68°F, which is 4°F warmer than normal – that's a standout, but it doesn't help the surf.
Now, the glimmer of hope. The morning of Saturday the 19th of September is the only time in this whole 16-day window that gets a passing grade. We’ve got a 4 ft swell from the NW, with a period of 5 seconds. It's a short-period windswell, so it'll be a bit lumpy, but the key here is the wind. The report says "glass" – absolute glassy conditions. That offshore breeze at 3 mph from the WNW will make it look cleaner than it has any right to be. The combined energy is only 55 (weak to moderate), but for this spot, that's the best we'll see. The afternoon of the 19th sees the swell bump up to 5 ft from the NW, but the wind swings N and onshore, ruining it straight away.
The 20th of September has a bit more size (4 ft) but it's cross-shore and messy. The rest of the forecast into the 23rd is just tiny, weak waves.
So, to sum it up: the one standout is the morning of the 19th. It's a small, short-period swell, but with glassy conditions it'll be the most fun you'll have in this period. The break is exposed, so it'll catch whatever is coming, but consistency is only fair. Crowds are often an issue here, so if you're out there that morning, you might have some company. For a beginner, that 4 ft swell is perfect. After that, it fades away again. This is a long, lean run, but it tends not to stay this poor forever.

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.
