The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about the surf outlook for Noorderstrand over the next 16 days. I’ve looked at the charts, and to be honest, it’s a tough stretch. The finder isn't showing any standout sessions, and every single day in the forecast is flagged as poor surf conditions. So, we’re looking at a blank run for the entire period, with no good surf options on offer.
The water is warm, though. At 69°F, that’s a solid 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year - much warmer than normal, so you won’t need a thick suit, but you’ll be needing a lot of patience.
The first few days kick off on Monday, 24th August with a tiny 2ft swell from the north, but period is a weak 7 seconds. The wind is cross-off from the east, which keeps the surface clean, but there’s just no energy. The combined swell energy is a meager 37. That’s barely a ripple. It stays like this through Tuesday and Wednesday, with the swell dropping to 1ft and then 0.7ft. By Thursday, we’re down to 0.3ft.
Friday the 28th sees a slight bump to 4ft from the WSW, but the period is a short 5 seconds, and the wind is cross-shore, making it lumpy. The energy climbs to 51, but it’s still a messy, weak affair. Saturday the 29th actually brings a bit more size – 5ft from the west with a 6-second period. The combined energy hits 166, which is moderate, but again, the wind is cross-shore, creating a cross-chop. It’s not clean, and it’s not quality. This is the most size we see, but it’s still not worth paddling out for.
Sunday the 30th drops back down, and then Monday, 31st August, we get a bigger pulse: 7ft from the WSW with a 7-second period. The energy is strong at 495. But the wind is a strong cross-shore breeze at 25 mph, making it a messy, dangerous mess. For a beginner spot like Noorderstrand, that’s way too big and blown out. That’s more a day for the kitesurfers than paddle surfers.
The first week of September is more of the same. A little bump on the 7th of September with 6ft, and then on the 8th of September, another 7ft pulse from the WSW with energy at 484. But both days are plagued by cross to cross-onshore winds, creating choppy, lumpy conditions.
The bottom line: there is not a single moment in this 16-day window where the stars align for Noorderstrand. The swell is either too small, too short-period, or when it does get some size, the wind ruins it. It’s a long stretch of flat and messy. For this area, a blank run like this is a bit of a bummer, but it’s not unheard of. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d leave the board at home.
Rusty.

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.
