The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Noorderstrand is a tough one to call. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions, so this isn't a time to be getting your hopes up for a ripping session.
The water temperature is sitting at 69°F, which is a whopping 7°F warmer than what’s normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit, but the trade-off is the wave quality just isn’t there.
Looking at the start, Monday 20 July through to the end of the week, we’ve got a persistent cross-onshore or onshore wind from the north and NNW. The swell is short-period, mostly 6-7 seconds, with a combined energy that’s weak. For example, Monday morning sees a 4ft swell from the NNW, but with a 7-second period and a cross-on wind at 12 mph, the wave comment is poor surf conditions. It’s choppy and messy. The energy is only 118 (weak), and it stays like that all week. The biggest pulse comes Wednesday morning with 4ft, but it’s onshore at 19 mph, making it a complete write-off.
The following week, from 27 July through to 4 August, is more of the same. There’s a slight bump on Monday 27 July with a 4ft NNW swell (136 energy), but again, it’s cross-on at 12 mph. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore right through, with the swell dropping off to tiny 0.7ft to 2ft by the end. The combined energy plummets to single digits by 4 August, barely a ripple.
For a beginner-friendly break, this is a long gap of no real recommendations. The consistency is fair, but the quality is zero. It’s a blank run for Noorderstrand. If you’re desperate, the only remotely clean window might be a very light wind day, but even then, the swell is tiny and short-period. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the persistent onshore winds and moderate wave energy.
The forecast is reliable for the near term, and it’s a dud. Longer range, there’s no sign of a change. Keep the board waxed, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
