The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got.
Honestly, mate, it’s a tough run ahead. The forecast for the next couple of weeks is a bit of a grind, with a lot of onshore wind and messy swell. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—a nice change for the skin, but it doesn’t help the surf much.
We kick off Friday, the 28th of August, but there’s nothing to get excited about. Small 3ft swell from the WSW with a short period of just 4 seconds, and a moderate cross-shore breeze. It’s all chop and poor conditions. Saturday the 29th sees a bit more size, up to 5ft Saturday morning, but a fresh cross-shore wind has it lumpy. The afternoon cleans up a little with a cross-off breeze, but the swell is still short period and weak. It’s not worth suiting up for.
Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are a write-off. Sunday has a fresh cross-onshore wind and lumpy conditions, and Monday brings a strong cross-shore with a 7ft swell but it’s messy as all get-out with a cross-chop. The combined energy hits 420 on the Monday morning, which is strong energy, but with that wind, it’s a blown-out mess.
There’s a real gap in quality here. Tuesday the 1st of September through to about Thursday the 10th of September is mostly poor. We see some cleaner conditions on the 7th of September Monday morning—only 2ft from the NW with a light east breeze and clean conditions, but the swell is tiny and weak. Not really worth the paddle.
The only glimmer in this whole outlook is Thursday the 10th of September. That afternoon, we get a 5ft swell from the NNW with an 8-second period and a light cross-off breeze out of the SSW. The combined energy is a solid 270, and the forecast says expect good surf conditions. That’s the standout. Clean lines, decent size for the area, and light winds. It’s over a week away, so don’t bank on it perfectly, but it’s the one to keep an eye on.
Before and after that, it’s slim pickings. Crowds at Noorderstrand are often present, but with this forecast, I doubt many will be out. If you’re desperate, the 10th of September afternoon is your best bet. For the rest, maybe it’s time to check the gear or look for a spot inland.
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.
