The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down.
It’s a rough stretch for Noorderstrand (Netherlands) . The whole 16-day forecast is a dud, with no real surf to speak of. There’s a big gap of flat, poor conditions right from the start. The first few days are tiny, with weak, short-period windswell and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds. The combined energy is pathetic – in the single digits and low triple digits (1 to 114), meaning the ocean is basically asleep.
The water is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, at 70°, with a big anomaly of 6°, which is very unusual. But that’s the only thing worth noting.
The only slim chance comes on Thursday morning, August 20th. We’ll see a little NNW swell, about 3ft, and the wind is glassy out of the ENE. That’s a rare clean moment. The combined energy is only 33 though, so it’s weak. It’s a beginner-friendly height, but the swell period is a short 5 seconds, so it won’t have any power. The break is fairly consistent, but crowds are often there, so expect company.
Outside of that, it’s a total wipeout. Wednesday 12th and Thursday 13th August have clean, cross-off winds, but the swell is tiny – 1ft to 2ft – not worth the effort. Later in the second week, the wind picks up, and the swell stays small and messy. This whole setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those lumpy, windy days.
So, if you’re really keen, the glassy morning of the 20th is your only option. Otherwise, it’s a long dry spell – and for this spot, that’s pretty normal.
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.
