The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be honest, it’s a lean stretch. The first real whisper of anything surfable doesn’t show up until the morning of Saturday, 15th August, so we’re looking at a solid 14-day gap with no decent recommendations. That’s a long lull, and it’s pretty typical for this area when the charts are this quiet. For the first two weeks, it’s a whole lot of nothing – tiny, weak lumps with onshore winds, and the combined energy barely ever cracks double digits. You’d be better off finding a longboard and a flat-water paddle, or just taking the time off.
Then, on the morning of Saturday, 15th August, we finally get a pulse. The swell at Noorderstrand bumps up to 5ft, coming from the NW with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 237, which is a solid moderate kick of power. The wind is offshore from the SSW, blowing clean, so the lines should be tidy. That’s a serious positive for a break that’s often exposed to onshore winds. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no nasty surprises there. The break is rated for beginners, but with shoulder-high waves, it’s going to be a proper step up for anyone new. It’s a fairly consistent spot, so it should hold up, but be aware that crowds are often around here. The set-up is an exposed beach, so with a bit of size and that NW direction, it might also look interesting for the kite crew if the paddle-in gets too drifty. That Saturday morning is the only real standout in the whole 16-day window, and it’s a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed the forecast holds.

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.
