The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, letting you know there's been a real quiet spell on the cards for us. The forecast opens with very ordinary conditions, and honest to god, for the first week there’s barely a single session that’s worth paddling out for. The wind is all over the shop – mostly cross, cross-on, or just howling out of the WSW or W, absolutely messing with any chance of a clean face.
To be blunt, from the 2nd right through to the 5th of September, you’re looking at onshore mess and lumpy water. That 8ft of WSW swell rolling in on Friday the 4th might grab your attention, but with a strong breeze kicking up a messy cross-chop and a period of only 7 seconds, it’s a frustrating one.
The first genuine glimmer comes on the morning of Sunday the 6th. It’s small, only 2ft of NNW swell, but the wind finally clocks around to a light offshore from the SE (15 km/h). That light offshore breeze is a major positive. You’ll get little, clean peelers at Noorderstrand, but it’s a gentle session. The energy is weak (combined swell energy of just 51), so don’t expect to get your heart rate up. That late afternoon drops off totally again.
Then we’re back to a real wasteland; a lot of days with either no swell or next to nothing, and the 'poor surf conditions' tag sticks like a bad smell. Monday the 8th kicks up a bit of height but with a fresh onshore cross breeze, it’s rubbish.
Thursday the 10th sees the biggest push of the period – a 7ft swell from the NW (combined energy of 609). That’s a decent amount of water. Thursday morning is coming in from the WSW cross-on (12 mph) which will chop it up, but that afternoon the wind swings NW and becomes gentle onshore. The wave period stretches to 7 seconds. For Noorderstrand, this is about as raw as it gets. It’ll be big, but with that cross-on wind, you’re fighting the texture. This is not a beginner kind of day; it’s all for the gun-slingers who want to grunt. The period is too short for real groundswell magic here.
By Friday the 11th, the swell is dropping back to 5ft with light cross-on winds from the N. The guidance rates it as marginal surf. The period is hanging at 7 seconds, so still a wind swell.
From the 12th onwards, everything just fades out again – swell sizes drop under 3ft, the energy blows out and the window shuts. There just isn't any juice in the tank for the second week. The forecast is a bumpy ride with very, very few windows of clean surf.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the early Sunday morning of the 6th. It’s not epic, but for this region, a clean, offshore 2ft on the face is the pick of a very average lot.
Stay tuned, the forecasts can flip, but right now? It's a board-waxing and story-swapping week.

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.
