The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you about the local surf scene. Looking at the entire 16-day window, it's a pretty grim picture. The only real option on the table is Noorderstrand, and to be honest, it's a tough sell. The water is sitting at 69°F, which is a solid 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year—that's a notable anomaly, so you might not need the thickest wetsuit, but you'll want to leave it on the beach because the waves just aren't cooperating.
The first real chance to get wet is a long way off. There's a massive gap of over a week with nothing but poor conditions. The closest thing to a standout comes on Thursday, 10th September. For the morning, Noorderstrand is looking at clean 4 ft waves from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind will be offshore from the SE at 16 mph, which is a major positive for clean faces. The combined swell energy is moderate at 151. It's surfable, but it's ordinary, not a classic. The short period means the waves won't have much punch.
Before that, on Tuesday, 8th September, the morning is also clean with 4 ft from the W, but the period is a short 5 seconds, so the energy is weak at 70. After that, it's back to mostly poor, choppy, or messy conditions with strong onshore winds, especially from the 10th afternoon onwards. The swell gets up to 6 ft on the 4th of September, but it's accompanied by a 28 mph cross-onshore wind, making it a total mess. For a beginner spot like Noorderstrand, that's not a fun time.
Later in the period, on the morning of the 13th of September, the wind is clean but the swell is tiny at 2 ft from the W with a period of only 4 seconds and weak energy at 18. It's not worth paddling out for.
Overall, the only real chance for a half-decent session is that Thursday morning, the 10th of September. It's not much, but it's the best we've got.

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.
