The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and pull up a chair. Let's talk about the beach you're looking at. It's a tough spell ahead, and I'll be straight with you.
First off, Noorderstrand is a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent in its exposure, but it's a bit of a fair-weather setup. The water is sitting at 69°F, which is 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That's a real anomaly, feels like a bath.
Right now, we're looking at a long, frustrating run. The first half of this month is pretty much a write-off. From Wednesday the 15th right through to the morning of Monday the 29th, it's all poor surf conditions. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, with a short, weak period swell of 4 to 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak, mostly hanging around in the double digits (26 to 142). The waves are tiny, the wind is messy, and it's just not worth paddling out. You'll be fighting a chop more than riding a wave.
There is a small window that pops up, but it's a long way off. On the morning of Wednesday, 29 July, the conditions finally take a turn. The wind shifts to a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE, and the long-range forecast suggests the swell is cleaning up. You're looking at a 3 ft swell from the west, with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is still only moderate (58), but the wind is clean. It's surfable, but it's very ordinary. This is a moment for the patient, not the desperate.
The morning of Thursday, 30 July is even more of a tease. The wind goes completely glassy, with a 2 ft swell from the WSW, but the period is still short (5 seconds) and the energy is tiny (14). It's a flat, clean lake. Not a wave to be had, just a beautiful morning to sit on the beach.
So, the honest truth? There's no standout day here. The whole 16-day window is a near-complete dud. The best of a bad bunch is the morning of the 29th, but even then, it's a "surfable but very ordinary" call. If you're desperate for a paddle, that's your best bet. But honestly, the poor run is so long and consistent that the best advice is to leave the boards at home, clean the wax off, and wait for the next system. The forecast can change, but for now, it's a flat spell.

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.

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.
