The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are dishing up for us. I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch. We’ve got a solid 16-day window staring us down, and for Noorderstrand, there isn’t a single session worth paddling out for. The entire forecast is a write-off, with every single entry flagged as poor surf conditions. That’s a long, dry spell, and for this area, a blank run like that is pretty common when the wind and swell just won’t line up.
The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 5th is a mess with a fresh cross-onshore wind at 19 mph and lumpy 6 ft swell from the NW – that’s just ugly. Sunday the 6th cleans up a bit with a gentle offshore wind from the SSE, but the swell drops to a pathetic 2 ft, and it’s too weak to do anything with. Monday the 7th is even smaller, with 1.0 ft and clean conditions, but it’s a flat lake. Through the middle of the week, we get pulses of moderate wave energy (261 and 244 on the energy meter) from the NW on the 5th, but that wind just won’t quit, staying cross-onshore or onshore, keeping things choppy and lumpy.
The second week doesn’t offer any relief. We see a bit more energy again on the 12th of September, with 5 ft NW swell and the energy reading at 240, but it’s an onshore wind from the NW at 25 mph, making it a washing machine – only good for experts, and even then, it’s not fun. By the 15th of September, we get a moment of glassy conditions on Tuesday morning, with a 1.0 ft swell from the NNW, but it’s flat as a pancake. The 19th of September has a little 3 ft N swell and light wind, but it’s still cross-onshore and just not doing it for me.
Honestly, Noorderstrand is exposed to NW swell, and that’s what we’re getting, but the wind direction is almost always ruining it. Forget about any standout sessions here. The combined swell energy never gets strong enough to overcome the poor wind, and the water temperature anomaly is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. It’s a solid 16 days of close-outs and onshore slop. For a beginner, anything over 5 ft is too much, and we had that on the 5th and 12th, but the conditions were so bad it didn’t matter. If you’re desperate, keep an eye on the 20th of September – Sunday morning has a gentle offshore SSE wind at 9 mph and a clean 2 ft N swell. It’s tiny, but it’s the cleanest of a terrible bunch.
Stay patient, folks. Forecasts can change.

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.
