The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you — this 16-day run for Noorderstrand is a tough stretch. There’s nothing on the table worth paddling out for. The whole period is tagged "poor surf conditions" from start to finish, so don’t bother waxing up just yet.
We start off Tuesday, 8 September with a messy cross-shore wind at 16 mph, a weak 4 ft swell from the WSW with a short 5-second period, and combined energy sitting at a tiny 59 — that’s weak stuff, no push. That pattern bleeds into Wednesday the 9th where a 6 ft NW swell rolls in with 19 mph onshore wind, energy jumps to 296 (moderate), but the wind is ruining it. Not a single decent window.
Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th drop right off into knee-high dribble, with energy barely hitting 57 and 29. Saturday the 12th is glassy but the swell is almost non-existent — 0.7 ft from the west with an energy of 2. That’s flat as a tack. The water’s sitting at 68° which is over 4° warmer than usual for this time of year — notable, but with no surf, who cares?
The gap runs right through to Friday 18 September, when a pulse of 5 ft NW swell arrives with 141 to 177 energy (moderate), but it’s coming with cross-onshore winds and a short 6-second period — just messy, choppy slop, not worth the drive. After that, it fades back into the dirt. There’s a couple of glassy moments on 19 September and 20 September, but the swell is barely 1 ft to 2 ft — not enough to ride.
For the whole two weeks, there’s no standout, no window where the swell, wind, and quality line up. It’s a blank run plain and simple. Sometimes it’s just like that here — forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board at home.
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.
Noorderstrand is 2 km (1 miles) from S-Gravenhage. If you plan a holiday in Netherlands, look for hotels and other accommodation in S-Gravenhage. S-Gravenhage has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
