The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for our local spot.
Honestly, it’s a rough outlook for Noorderstrand. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions that’s gonna run right through the entire 16-day forecast. There’s no standout day, no hidden gem. The first week is full of cross-onshore winds and tiny, weak swell. On Tuesday 8th and Wednesday 9th September, the swell bumps up to about 6ft from the WSW and W, but the wind is howling onshore at 19-25 mph and the combined energy is moderate to strong (293-305). It’s just a lumpy, choppy mess – more of a kiteboarding setup than a surf session.
After that, it drops to tiny waves with some clean-ish wind, but the swell is too small and weak to do anything with. There’s a little spike on Saturday 19th September with chest-high NW swell (6ft-6ft) and a short 7-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore again and the energy is moderate (237-305). So, still poor quality. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – over 5° warmer than average, so that’s pretty unusual.
Bottom line: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The break is fairly consistent, so it doesn’t usually stay this flat and blown-out for long. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to chase.
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.
