The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
If you’re hoping to get wet at Noorderstrand, I hate to say it, but you’re going to be twiddling your thumbs for a while. The whole 16-day window is a total write-off – nothing but poor surf conditions every single day. There’s absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is a good 4°F warmer than usual for the time of year – that’s a proper anomaly.
No standout sessions, no hidden gems. It just doesn’t look like it’s going to happen for us. The blank run looks normal for this setup right now. Even when the combined energy does jump into moderate territory, like Thursday 17th September morning, with a 4ft swell from the WSW and a combined energy of 125, the wind is a fresh cross-shore with lumpy cross-chop. Just messy. The biggest we see is Saturday 19th September afternoon – a 6ft swell from the WSW (energy of 235) – but again, that cross-shore wind and chop ruin it. And on Wednesday 30th September, we get a 4ft swell from the WSW (energy of 125) with clean, cross-off winds, but the periods are short at 6 seconds and the entire run-up to that is flat and poor. Nothing comes together.
If the swell was bigger and the wind howling, you might think about kiting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go.
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.
