The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next stretch.
Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty flat spell for Noorderstrand. The whole 16-day window is a write-off, I’m afraid. There’s just nothing here that’s going to get the heart racing. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions. The swell is almost always coming from the NNW or NW, with periods mostly around 6-7 seconds, so it’s short-period windswell with no real push. The winds are a killer too – almost always cross-on or onshore, which just chops things up.
The first week is a total blank. From Monday 20 July right through to the end of the month, we’re looking at wave heights barely cracking 5 ft, and the combined energy is weak. For example, Wednesday 22 July afternoon sees the biggest swell of the period at 5 ft from the NNW with a 7-second period, and the energy is only 189 (moderate). But the wind is onshore, so it’s just a lumpy mess. The best you could hope for is a tiny 2 ft wave on Friday 24 July morning, but with onshore wind and almost no energy (22), it’s barely a ripple.
The second week doesn’t get any better. From 1 August, the swell drops off a cliff. Sunday 2 August morning has a 0.3 ft wave – that’s basically a lake. There’s a tiny blip on Wednesday 30 July morning with a 3 ft swell from the NNW, but the period jumps to 9 seconds, which is better, but the wind is onshore (NW at 15 mph). It’s just not clean enough to bother with.
So, no standout days. No recommendations. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but that’s the only positive. For a beach break like Noorderstrand, this kind of dead run isn’t unusual, but it’s a tough watch. If you’re desperate for a paddle, maybe the Thursday 30 July morning has a slight chance of a weak wave, but I wouldn’t drive for it. This is more of a kite-surfing setup, honestly.
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.

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.
