The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Looking at the whole 16-day window, I’ve got to be honest – there’s not a single session worth paddling out for. The guidance gives Noorderstrand a beginner-friendly rating but the finder data shows every single period is labelled as "poor surf conditions". That’s a long, flat, or messy run from start to finish.

We’ve got a gap right from the start. The first recommendation is for Sunday the 23rd of August, but it’s tiny. Waves are 3 ft from the NNW with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined wave energy is only 97 (very weak). The wind is onshore from the NNW at 9 mph, so it’s choppy and messy. Water temp is 70°F, which is a wild 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, but it won’t help the surf.

The rest of the first week is a bust. Swell heights drop to 2 ft, 2 ft, even 1 ft. The periods are short, and the wind is mostly cross-off or cross-shore, but it’s just too small and weak. By Monday the 25th of August, it’s 2 ft with a 5-second period and energy down to 20 – that’s barely a ripple. The wind is cross-off from the E at 16 mph, which keeps it clean, but there’s nothing to ride.

We then hit a flat spell from Thursday the 27th of August morning – zero swell, zero energy. That lasts through the end of the month. The only thing that changes is the wind. On Wednesday the 26th of August morning, we get a gentle offshore from the SSE at 9 mph, but the swell is only 1 ft. It’s clean, but you’d be floating.

The next pulse shows up on Saturday the 29th of August. Swell jumps to 7 ft from the SW, period 7 seconds, energy 364 (moderate). But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the W at 19 mph, making it lumpy. The next day, Sunday the 30th of August, brings 7 ft from the WSW, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore from the SW at 22 mph, with energy 341. It’s messy. By the afternoon, it’s 7 ft with a strong breeze at 28 mph – that’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session. Same story on Monday the 31st of August: 5 ft from the WNW but cross-onshore wind at 19 mph.

The second week is more of the same. On Tuesday the 1st of September, we drop to 2 ft from the NNW, cross-onshore wind. Thursday the 3rd of September sees 3 ft from the NNW, but it’s cross-shore wind at 16 mph. The best looking window in the whole outlook is probably Wednesday the 2nd of September: 1 ft from the NNW, light cross-offshore wind from the E at 6-9 mph, clean – but the swell is tiny. Then Friday the 4th of September brings 4 ft from the WSW, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy.

The last few days of the outlook, the 6th and 7th of September, show some size again. Saturday the 6th of September has 5 ft from the WNW with a fresh cross-shore wind, energy 135. Monday the 7th of September has 6 ft and 7 ft from the WSW and W, but the wind is a strong breeze at 25 mph – again, messy and lumpy.

So, the honest truth: there are no standout sessions. The biggest swells are all blown out by strong onshore or cross-shore winds. The cleanest days are too small. If you’re desperate for a paddle, Wednesday the 2nd of September morning might be the only time you can sit on a board in clean water, but don’t expect a wave. For the rest, it’s a write-off. Hopefully the long-range forecasts change – it tends not to stay this poor for this area for too long.

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.
