The Lowdown
Alright. Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Honestly, for the next couple of weeks, Noorderstrand is looking pretty grim. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak, messy surf with poor quality onshore winds. There’s a real dry spell coming up. From now all the way through to Sunday the 9th of August, you won’t find anything worth paddling out for. That’s nearly two full weeks of flat or junky conditions. It’s going to take a while, but hang in there—things might finally change.
The only highlight in this entire outlook is Monday the 10th of August. Monday morning, a proper groundswell arrives from the NW, with a solid 7 ft of swell. The period is 9 seconds—so it’s not super long, but there’s a serious amount of energy behind it, with the combined wave energy hitting 640 (very strong wave energy). And the wind is light, offshore from the SSE. That means clean conditions. That morning is the standout. The swell is big, over 5 ft, so it’s a bit much for beginners—this one’s for the experienced crew. It’s the only time in the whole 16 days where everything lines up. Monday afternoon, it drops to 5 ft and goes onshore, so the window is tight.
Crowds are often an issue at Noorderstrand, and on that Monday morning, everyone who’s been waiting will be out. Expect company. This is an exposed beach, so with that NW swell, the wave quality should be workable for the experienced, especially with the offshore wind cleaning things up.
Water temperature is about average for the time of year—nothing unusual there. No big anomalies to report.
So, if you’ve got patience, you know the one window. Monday the 10th of August, morning. It’s the only game in town.
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.
