The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Noorderstrand. We’re looking at a real flat spell to start, with no real surf on offer for the first week or so. The waves are tiny and the wind is all over the shop, mostly cross or cross-onshore, keeping things messy. There’s a bit of a gap from the start of the period right through until the 12th of August where you’d be wasting your time.
The first time things even get a little interesting is on Wednesday morning, the 12th of August. We get a tiny bump in swell, around 2ft from the north, with a period of 9 seconds. The wind is light and cross-offshore out of the east-northeast, so the surface should be clean. The combined energy is weak though, sitting at 74. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. If you’re a beginner looking for a gentle paddle, this is your window, but don’t expect any power.
After that, it drops right off again. A few more days of flat, onshore junk until we get to Tuesday morning, the 18th of August. That morning, the swell picks up slightly to 4ft out of the northwest, period is a short 5 seconds, so it’s windswell, not groundswell. The wind is light and cross-off from the south-southwest, so the surface will be clean. The combined energy is still only 76, so it’s weak. Again, it’s surfable but ordinary. The afternoon turns onshore and messy again.
The standout, if you can call it that, is that Wednesday morning on the 12th. It’s clean, small, and about as good as it gets in this run. Don’t expect any power or big walls, just a few small, clean lines for a longboard or a foamie. The rest of the period is a write-off, with mostly onshore wind and barely any swell. It’s a tough stretch.
Signing off,
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.
