Rusty here. Gotta be honest—Noorderstrand’s pretty flat for most of this 16-day stretch, so don’t rush in. The first week is mostly dead and messy.
From Sunday, July 12th to about Saturday, July 18th, wave heights run from 1.0 ft to just over 4 ft, but it’s choppy with onshore and cross-shore winds blowing 9 to 18 mph. The water temperature is 68°F, which is about 7°F warmer than usual—much warmer than average for the time of year. Combined wave energy stays low, maxing out around 104.
Then we hit a big gap from July 19th through much of the third week. Things are small and weak, then around July 21st we get a pulse up to 4 ft to 4 ft, but it’s still short-period windswell with dirty wind—either onshore or cross-onshore from the north or northwest. The energy climbs from 63 to 128, but the quality is poor. There’s nothing to get excited about.
The one potential highlight lands on Friday, July 24th. The morning brings a 6 ft northwesterly swell, period 7 seconds, with very light cross-onshore wind (6 mph). Combined wave energy hits 305. It’s called “marginal,” so the tide has to cooperate, but this is your best chance. For experienced surfers, it could be some fun if you're not fussy. Expect a crowd—Noorderstrand is often packed. After that, the surf fades quickly, with rain and strong onshore winds the next day.
If you want to paddle at all, circle July 24th morning. Otherwise, give it a miss. It usually turns around, but this window’s slim.

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.
