The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve scanned the charts for the next 16 days and honestly, it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a lot of days where the waves just aren’t happening, and when they do show up, the conditions are fighting us. Don’t get your hopes up for any magic sessions; this is a real test of patience.
Let me break it down for you. The whole run kicks off with a flat spell. Wednesday the 26th of August starts us off with a tiny 0.7ft wind swell from the north, barely a ripple, with that cross-off wind. The combined energy is a measly (2), and it’s just poor. That carries right on through Thursday and into Friday morning, where we might see a slight bump to 2ft from the WSW on the 28th, but it’s a short-period 4 seconds, so it’s just bumpy and weak. Energy is still rubbish at (11). The wind stays cross or cross-on, making it all chop.
Saturday the 29th of August shows a bit of life with a 4ft swell from the WSW and clean conditions thanks to that cross-off, but it’s still weak at (64) and with a 5-second period. It’s a different story on Sunday the 30th. We see a more significant push of 6ft from the WSW with a 7-second period. The wave energy jumps to (293), which is a moderate pulse, but that SW wind is a fresh cross-shore, churning up a lumpy mess. For a beach break like Noorderstrand, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September have similar-sized swell around 5ft to 5ft, but it’s all cross-on and onshore with fresh winds. Choppy and ugly. After that, Wednesday the 2nd drops right back to 2ft. There is a slight window on Monday the 7th of September when a nicer 4ft, 5-second groundswell from the WSW rolls in with a clean cross-off wind. Energy is (86), so it’s still weak, but the face will be smooth and glassy. That’s about as good as it gets in this bleak outlook. Then Tuesday the 8th offers 6ft from the WNW, but the wind is onshore and lumpy, and it’s getting a bit big for beginners at over 5ft.
The rest of the second week just trickles away with small, weak swell and onshore winds. Saturday the 5th of September even offers a glassy morning, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft. Nothing to ride.
Noorderstrand shows up as “fairly consistent” in the longer term, but with all this poor surf quality and bad wind, there’s just no standout day. This blank run is a normal thing for the area; the forecasts can change, but for now, don’t bother.
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.
