The Lowdown

Alright, let’s run through this again, but in feet and miles.

Honestly, I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough run. The forecast is a long stretch of pretty ordinary conditions, with only a couple of tiny windows that might be worth a paddle. We’re looking at Noorderstrand, and it’s a real mixed bag of wind and swell that just doesn’t want to line up.

The water is running at 69°F with a big anomaly of 5°F warmer than the long-term average, so it’s much warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a notable plus if you’re in the water.

For the first week, from Sunday the 30th of August right through to the 12th of September, it’s basically a write-off. Every single session is flagged as "poor surf conditions." The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, and often strong, with speeds up to 25 mph or even 31 mph. The swell is all short-period windswell, mostly under 8 seconds, and the combined energy is weak to moderate—we’re talking values like 59, 332, 268, all poor. The wave comment is a flat “poor surf conditions” every time. There’s a big gap of about two weeks with no real surf on offer.

The only two windows that break the pattern come right at the tail end of the forecast. On the morning of Sunday the 13th of September, we get a bit of a reprieve. The wind swings light from the south, giving us a clean cross-off breeze, and the swell is 3 ft from the NNW with a 7-second period. The combined energy is 88, weak, but the wave comment finally says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s not a standout, but it’s the best we’ve seen in a fortnight.

Then, on Monday the 14th of September, there’s a brief glimmer. The morning has a light offshore from the ESE, with the swell at 5 ft from the NNW and a 6-second period. Combined energy is 164 (moderate), and the wave comment is “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” But the real bright spot is Monday afternoon. We get a light cross-off breeze from the south, swell from the NW at 5 ft with a 7-second period, combined energy of 211 (moderate), and the wave comment is “expect good surf conditions.” The wind is clean, the swell is a little bigger, and it’s the only time in the whole outlook that looks genuinely promising.

If you’re a beginner, the swell is under 5 ft, so it’s manageable, but the quality is poor overall. For the few clean windows, the short period means the waves won’t have much grunt. Noorderstrand is a beach setup, so with the chop and wind, it’s more likely to be interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during the windy, messy days.

Take the Monday 14th afternoon as your best bet—a promising but isolated window. The rest of the forecast is a long, blank run.

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.
