The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Noorderstrand over the next couple weeks. I gotta be straight with ya – it’s gonna be a long, hard wait for anything decent around here.
The whole 16-day window is a bit of a grind. For the first twelve days, from Saturday the 29th of August all the way through to Wednesday the 9th of September, it’s one big ugly stretch of poor surf conditions. Don’t even think about paddling out. The winds are mostly a fresh cross-on mess, killing any chance of a clean face. Swell is all over the shop but it’s short-period slop, mostly around 6 or 7 seconds, with the wind just chopping it all up. The combined energy readings (216, 212, 301, 469, etc.) are mostly in that moderate to strong range, but without decent winds, it’s just a lumpy, blown-out ocean. There’s an exposed beach break here, so with that southwest to west wind tearing across it, you’d honestly be better off looking at kite surfing than trying to paddle into this mess.
Now, after that long dry spell, the calendar flips to Thursday the 10th of September, and things finally – *finally* – show a glimmer of life. It’s not a classic, but it's the best on offer. We get a cleaner day with a 4 ft swell out of the NNW, and the period jumps to 10 seconds, so there’s a bit more push and shape to it. The big win is the wind: light and cross-off from the SSW, meaning it’ll clean up nicely for the morning session. Combined energy is 296 – moderate, steady power. It’s not a standout for the ages, but compared to the weeks of trash before it, this is the one to target. The afternoon gets even glassier: offshore wind from the SSE at only 3 mph with a drop to 3 ft on the same long-period NNW swell. Clean, small, and rideable.
After that tiny window, it fades again into tiny, clean but weak waves through to the end of the forecast. Just not enough push.
So, if you’re aching for a paddle, chalk up the 10th of September as your best (and really, only) shot. It'll be small but clean. Otherwise, this stretch is mostly a write-off, friend.

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.
