The Lowdown
Alright, let's get a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch ahead for this area. We’re looking at a long, long dry spell with nothing really worth paddling out for. The forecast is a grim run of small, weak, and messy conditions, with the wind almost always working against us. For the first couple of weeks, it's a whole lot of nothing.
It kicks off on Wednesday the 26th of August, and straight away it's a no-go. Tiny 0.7ft of swell from the north, with a weak period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly (2). The water is a balmy 69°, which is a good 4° warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's the only highlight. The east wind is blowing cross-off, but there's just no power in the water.
This pattern of poor surf with onshore or cross-shore winds continues day after day. We see a slight bump in size around the 29th and 30th, with 5ft to 5ft swell from the west, but it's accompanied by fresh to strong breezes (22-28 mph) that are ruining any chance of a clean wave. The energy does pick up to moderate levels (171-213) for a couple of sessions, but the wind just kills it.
The real kicker is the 31st of August. We get a solid 8ft of swell from the WSW, with a combined energy of (543), but it's being hammered by a strong 28 mph cross-onshore wind. That's a messy, blown-out situation that’s honestly more suited to kite surfing than a paddle session. The water is going to be a washing machine.
The only session that even comes close to being surfable is the morning of Thursday the 10th of September. We get a 3ft swell from the NNW with a 6-second period, and the wind turns light and variable from the ENE, making for a clean, glassy surface. The combined energy is only (63), so it's weak, but the conditions are described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's the first and only glimpse of clean surf in the entire 16-day window, but it's just too small and weak to get excited about.
So, there's no standout day here. The wait will be long, but the forecasts can always change. For now, keep the boards in the shed.

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.
