The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, and I gotta tell ya, the outlook for Noorderstrand is mostly a bust. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, ugly conditions before anything worth talking about shows up. The water is way warmer than normal, sitting at 70°F with a whopping 5°F anomaly above average, which is very unusual for this time of year.
Don’t even think about paddling out until Wednesday, September 2nd. Before that, it’s a solid week of trash. We’re talking weak, short-period windswell with cross-onshore winds that are gonna leave the surface a mess. The combined swell energy barely breaks 30 on most days, and when it does climb to a moderate level on the 22nd and 23rd, the wind is onshore or cross-shore, ruining any chance of a clean wave.
The first actual window is Wednesday, September 2nd. The morning brings a light offshore breeze from the SE, making things clean, with a SW swell at 5ft and a 6-second period. By the afternoon, the wind turns cross-off from the ENE, the swell builds to 5ft from the WSW, and the combined energy hits 197 – that’s solid moderate energy. It’s ridable, but the short period means it’ll be a bit lumpy and unorganized. This is the best you’ll see for a while, and it’s only a “1” out of ten.
Thursday, September 3rd holds similar size, with a 6ft swell from the west and strong energy (233) in the morning. The wind is a clean cross-off, but the conditions are still called “marginal” due to the short period.
Now, if you’ve got the patience of a saint, circle Friday, September 4th in the afternoon. That’s the only real standout in this whole 16-day window. The swell jumps to 7ft from the WSW, with a combined energy of 374 – that’s strong wave energy. The wind is a light cross-off from the SSE, keeping the surface clean. It’s rated a “2” – the only “expect good surf conditions” call in the whole forecast. Keep in mind it’s still only a 7-second period, so it’ll be powerful but short-interval, which for a beach break can get a little walled up.
The standout is Friday afternoon, September 4th. That’s your one shot. Clean, solid 7ft swell.
Frankly, with the consistent onshore winds and weak swell for most of this stretch, this spot is looking a lot better for a kite surfer than for a paddle surfer. It’s a long, dry spell, but for this area, a blank run like this is pretty normal.
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.
