The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this is a grim stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long, bleak run here at Noorderstrand. The first proper sniff of something half-decent doesn’t show up until Tuesday, the 28th of July, and even then it’s a one-session wonder. Before that, we’re staring down the barrel of about ten days with nothing but poor surf conditions. The wind is howling onshore or cross-onshore from the NNW and N almost every day, and the waves are just junky, choppy, and weak. The combined swell energy barely cracks 100 for most of it, and even when it jumps to a moderate 200 on Sunday the 19th, the wind is just ruining it. It’s a write-off.
Then, on Tuesday the 28th of July, the morning session finally gives us a break. The wind swings around light offshore from the ESE (3 mph), and it’s clean. The swell is a bit of a mix from the WNW at 5 ft, with a period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is a moderate 149. It’s surfable, but the conditions are described as "very ordinary." The wave quality isn’t going to have you phoning in sick, but it’s the best we’ve got. The water temp is about average for this time of year. After that morning window, it’s back to onshore junk by the afternoon, and the rest of the forecast falls apart again with more poor surf and onshore winds.
So, the only real standout, and I use that term loosely, is that Tuesday morning, the 28th of July. It’s the one clean window in a sea of chop. The break is exposed to the NW, and the swell is coming from the WNW, so it’s a decent direction match. The wind will be light, so it’ll be uncrowded – but it’s a beginner-friendly spot and the swell is small enough for that. It’s not worth getting excited about the rest of the month. For a fairly consistent spot like Noorderstrand, this is a painful blank run. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking like a lot of sitting on the sand.
Rusty.

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.
