The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this stretch isn’t exactly firing. The whole 16-day window is a rough ride for decent surf at Noorderstrand. The wind is the main culprit, howling from the west and southwest most days, keeping things messy and lumpy. It’s a frustrating run with very few windows of opportunity.
The first real chance doesn’t come until Sunday, the 6th of September. Through the afternoon, the wind drops to nothing and goes glassy, giving us surfable but very ordinary conditions. The waves are a tiny 3 ft from the southwest with a short 5-second period, and the energy is weak (70). It’s a small, clean session for a longboard or a foamie, but don’t expect much push.
We’ve got a massive gap after that. The next flicker of hope comes on Friday, the 11th of September. The morning shows offshore winds from the southeast, cleaning up a weak 3 ft west swell (49 energy). The afternoon gets a little better with a clean, cross-off breeze and 4 ft waves from the west (56 energy). It’s not world-class, but it’s the most ridable stuff in a long, dry spell.
The biggest swell of the period hits on Saturday morning, the 12th of September. We’re looking at 8 ft from the west-southwest with a moderate energy of 746. The wind is strong and cross-offshore, keeping it clean, but at this size and with a short 8-second period, it’s going to be a powerful, walled-up mess. This is strictly for experts on a bigger board. The water feels about average for this time of year.
After that, it’s a return to strong, messy onshores for the rest of the outlook. The breaks are fairly consistent, but the conditions are just not cooperating. With all this wind and chop, it’s looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the run.
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.
