The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The outlook for the next couple of weeks is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions, with hardly a window worth getting excited about. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until nearly two weeks out, so be prepared for a quiet period.
Right now and through most of the next week, it’s a write-off. The wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the swell is tiny and weak. A few pulses of swell try to push through around Wednesday the 9th, with waves hitting 6 ft, but the wind is smashing it onshore – fresh breeze from the west, making it lumpy and chopped. The combined energy gets up to 245, but with that wind, it’s just a messy, blown-out mess. Not for the paddle, more of a kite-surfing setup if you’re into that.
We get a brief moment of cleaner but still small surf on the morning of Friday the 11th. A 5 ft swell from the WSW with a cross-off wind from the SSW, so it’s clean. The energy is moderate at 180. But it’s still a very average looking wave, and the wind is a fresh breeze, so it’ll be tough. Not a standout by any stretch.
The real highlight, if you can call it that, shows up on Thursday the 17th of September. The morning brings a 5 ft swell from the WNW with a light cross-off breeze from the ENE. The wind is light, the conditions are clean. The combined energy is a moderate 154. It’s surfable, but it’s not pumping. For Noorderstrand, this is about as good as it gets in this forecast. The swell direction is from the WNW, which is a bit off the optimum NW, but it’s the only window where the wind and swell line up to give you a clean, rideable wave. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
After that, it fades again. The morning of Friday the 18th has a small 3 ft NW swell with clean conditions, but it’s weak. Then it’s back to flat, weak, and clean but tiny through the weekend and into the next week.
So, bottom line: there’s a long gap of poor surf until Thursday the 17th. That Thursday morning is the one time to be out. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only clean, surfable option in the whole 16 days. Keep your hopes tempered, and don’t expect much.
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.
