The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.
Alright, the honest truth for this stretch? It's a flat spell. Noorderstrand is the only break in the running, and the models are just not delivering anything worthwhile. I'm looking at a 16-day window with no good surf on offer. For this area, a blank run like this is more normal than a surprise, but things can change.
The forecast kicks off on Tuesday the 4th of August with a tiny 1.0ft swell from the NNW, but it's a 7-second period with only weak energy (17). The water is a warm 70°, which is a massive 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's very unusual and feels like bathwater. Tuesday morning has a cross-offshore wind, but the swell is just too weak to do anything with.
We roll into Wednesday, the 5th, with a bit more size – 3ft in the morning and 5ft in the afternoon – but the period is a short 5-6 seconds and the wind is a messy cross-shore to cross-onshore at 30-35 km/h. The wave energy is moderate (67-120), but the quality is poor. It's lumpy, choppy, and just not worth paddling out for.
The rest of the week follows the same sad pattern. The 6th through the 9th of August have tiny swells, with the best of a bad lot being a 3ft wave on Friday the 7th, but it's onshore and weak. Sunday the 9th morning is glassy, but the swell is only 0.7ft with a pathetic energy of 3. It's a mirror, not a wave.
The second week from the 10th of August onwards is more of the same: small, weak, and wind-affected. The biggest swell in the whole run is a 4ft wave from the NW on Monday the 10th, but it's a 6-second period with a fresh cross-onshore wind. That's lumpy and messy. Later in the week, a 3ft swell on Wednesday the 19th shows up, but it's onshore and weak.
There are no standouts here. Not even close. The best you can hope for is a glassy morning on the 9th, but you'll need a surf mat to catch a ripple. The combination of weak swells, poor wind direction, and short periods means this is a total write-off for paddle surfing. If the wind keeps up and the swell is directional, this setup can look more interesting for kite surfing, but for a traditional surfer, there's nothing to get excited about.

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.
