The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, looking at the same forecast for Noorderstrand but in feet and miles per hour. It’s gonna be a quiet stretch. The water temperature is a warm 70°F, which is a big 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s pretty wild.
The first week is a total bust. Starting Wednesday, August 5th, and running for days, the waves are tiny and the wind is all over the place. The combined swell energy is mostly weak, in the low double digits, so there’s just no power. Even when the wind goes light and clean on Friday morning the 7th, the swell is only 3ft from the NNW and the conditions are "very ordinary." The best of that early stuff is a 2ft wave on the 8th, but it’s nothing to write home about. It’s a long gap of basically no surf.
The only light in the tunnel is the second week, and it’s a long way off. Sunday, August 16th, is the only day that looks like it might have something. Sunday morning we get a 5ft swell from the WSW with a light SSW breeze making it clean. The combined energy hits 194 (moderate), which is a step up. Then Sunday afternoon gets a bit better: the swell comes up to 6ft from the WSW, the combined energy is strong at 334, and a light S wind keeps it glassy. The period is 7 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell, but it’s the biggest and cleanest wave of the whole 16 days. The crowd factor is "often," so you won’t be alone.
For a beginner, that 6ft swell is a bit of a handful, but for the rest of you, it’s the one to aim for. The light, cross-offshore wind is perfect for clean faces. The direction is WSW, which isn’t the optimum NW for Noorderstrand, but the size and clean conditions make it the standout. After that, the forecast drops back to weak, choppy junk for the rest of the run. Monday morning the 17th goes back to 2ft and the wind goes onshore from the NW, killing it.
So, the only real chance in this 16-day window is Sunday, August 16th. It’s a long shot, but it’s the only shot.
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.
