The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me level with you: this stretch of coast is going to be a tough watch. I've scanned the coming weeks and, honestly, there's nothing to get excited about for surfers. We've got a long gap here – from now, through the end of July and into the first week of August – and it's all looking pretty flat or just messy. We're talking about Noorderstrand, an exposed beach setup, and it's just not cooperating.
Things kick off on Wednesday the 22nd with a weak 5ft swell from the NNW, but the period is a short 6 seconds – that's windswell, not groundswell – and it's onshore with 16 mph winds. The combined energy is weak at 139. That's a write-off. Thursday is more of the same, smaller and still blown out.
We get a bit of a cleanup on Friday the 24th morning with lighter winds, but the swell has dropped to just 2ft with a 7-second period. There's no power there. The weekend is a mess of onshore cross-shores and tiny waves. Honestly, there are a few mornings with cleaner conditions – like Tuesday the 28th morning with some cross-offshore winds – but the swell is so weak (2ft from the WSW with a 4-second period) it's barely a ripple.
Towards the end of the month, the energy just dies. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st have tiny 0.3ft and 0.7ft swells. Even when we get a glassy morning on Friday the 31st with no wind, the water is flat. The water temp is a very unusual 69° – which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – but that doesn't help the surf.
Moving into August, the pattern holds. The biggest pulse we see is around Tuesday the 4th, with another 4ft swell from the WSW, but again, it has a short 6-second period and onshore wind. The combined energy finally gets back into triple digits at 102, but for a beach break like this, that short-period, blown-out swell is just going to be a choppy mess. It looks better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, the outlook is simple: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. For this area, a blank run is more normal in the summer. You're not missing much.
Stay patient,
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.
