Alright, grab a coffee, let’s take a look at what’s happening. Rusty here.
To be honest, straight up, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for the Noorderstrand area. There is a big gap with no decent surf on offer. The first record we have shows Friday morning, July 3rd, but those waves are poor. The water is sitting at 68°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, a real anomaly of 7°, so a wetsuit is probably optional for a skinny dip but not for any surf.
The entire 16-day window is dominated by poor surf conditions every single day, with the combined swell energy readings rarely breaking into the moderate range, mostly sitting between 1 and 110, which is weak. For example, on Friday July 3rd, we see a combined energy of 66 early, and 110 in the afternoon, but it’s attached to short-period windswell (6 to 7 seconds) coming from the NNW and NW, with a moderate onshore wind blowing at 12 mph. This is not what we want.
The pattern is grim. You’ll get small, short-period swell almost the whole time. Saturday July 4th through the end of the first week shows nothing above 3 ft, with cross-onshore winds creating a choppy mess. By Saturday July 18th, there is a tiny flicker from the west, with clean cross-offshore winds, but again, the waves are just 3 ft, the period is weak at 5 seconds, and the energy is only 41. That is a long way off and will barely be rideable on a log.
There is no standout session. The only break in the area is Noorderstrand, and it’s a beginner spot that is fairly consistent, but it’s going to face a lot of blank days. Because few of the forecasts point to any consistent quality, this kind of blank run is more normal for the area.
Don’t hold your breath. Check back next week.
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.
Noorderstrand is 2 km (1 miles) from S-Gravenhage. If you plan a holiday in Netherlands, look for hotels and other accommodation in S-Gravenhage. S-Gravenhage has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
