The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Alright, let’s be straight with you—this outlook for Noorderstrand is a tough one. We’re looking at a long 16-day window, and the honest truth is there’s almost nothing worth paddling out for. The whole run is a string of small, weak, and messy conditions, with a few small windows that might get your hopes up but don’t deliver. The first real surf doesn’t even show up until the tail end of the forecast.

The pattern starts with tiny, weak swell from the north. Monday the 24th of August, you’ve got a 2ft north swell with a short period of 7 seconds, combined energy of just 37—that’s weak. The wind is cross-off from the east, so it’s clean, but the waves are barely there. This theme carries through the whole week. Tuesday morning the 25th, the wind jumps to 19 mph from the east, still cross-off, but the swell drops to 2ft from the north with a period of only 5 seconds, energy of 20. It’s clean but pathetic. Wednesday the 26th, it’s practically flat—0.7ft from the north, energy of 2. Thursday the 27th, no surf at all. Friday the 28th, we get a bump in swell height to 5ft from the west-southwest, but it’s a short-period 5-second wind swell, with strong cross-shore winds hitting 22 mph. The energy climbs to 128 (moderate), but the quality is poor—lumpy, cross-chop, and messy. This is not a surf day; it’s more of a kite-surfing setup. That continues into Saturday the 29th with a 5ft west-southwest swell and 25 mph winds.

Sunday the 30th, the swell drops back to 3ft from the northwest, period 6 seconds, energy 91—still weak. The wind is cross-off from the south-southeast at 19 mph, so it’s clean, but at that size, it’s not worth the paddle. Monday the 31st, the swell gets a little bump to 3ft from the north-northwest, but with 28 mph cross-shore winds, it’s a total write-off. The first week and a half are a bust.

Now, here’s the one glimmer. It’s far out, so take it with a grain of salt, but Monday the 7th of September, the morning shows a clean 7ft west-northwest swell with a period of 6 seconds, and combined energy of 319 (strong!). The wind is a light cross-off from the east-northeast at 6 mph, making for clean conditions. This is the only window in the 16 days where the finder actually says “expect good surf conditions.” At 7ft, that’s solid for experts—it’s a bit too big for beginners. The west-northwest direction is a cross-off at Noorderstrand, which helps. But the short 6-second period means it’s a wind swell, not a groundswell, so it’ll be a bit bumpy and less powerful than it could be. The afternoon turns cross-on and choppy, so the window is narrow. This is the standout, but it’s a long way off and not a guarantee.

The rest of the time is a gap of poor surf. From the 24th of August all the way through to the 6th of September, there’s nothing worth recommending. The break itself is exposed, fairly consistent, but when the swell is this small and the wind is this strong, it’s just not happening. The water temperature didn’t show a notable anomaly, so it’s about average for the time of year.

Bottom line: There’s one morning to keep an eye on—Monday the 7th of September—but expect a lot of flat days before that. For now, save your energy.

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.
