The Lowdown

Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Honestly, looking out over the next 16 days at Noorderstrand, we’ve got a bit of a flat spell on our hands. The first few days are a write-off, with poor surf conditions lingering through Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th, all small, weak, messy windswell. Not much to get excited about. The gap at the start is real—there’s nothing worth paddling out for until Wednesday the 19th, and even then, it’s not all roses.

The first standout is shaping up to be Wednesday the 19th, August, in the morning. WSW swell is pushing in at 7 ft, with a period of 6 seconds from the southwest. That’s a fair bit of water moving, but the period is short, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and won’t hold together beautifully. The combined energy is a solid 348 (moderate), and with onshore wind from the northwest at 12 mph, it’s going to be a bit of a battle. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. This is definitely more of a challenge for the experienced crew—beginners should sit this one out.

Later in the run, the best chance for something cleaner comes on Sunday the 23rd, August, in the morning. The wind is cross-offshore from the northeast at 16 mph, which is a real positive. Swell is small at 2 ft from the NNW, period 7 seconds, combined energy of 35 (weak). It’s not a big day, but the conditions are described as “clean,” so if you’ve got a longboard, this could be a fun session. The water is still average temp-wise.

Then on Monday the 25th, August, in the morning, we get a glassy moment with the wind from the north-northeast at just 3 mph. Swell is 3 ft from the NNW, period 6 seconds, combined energy 48 (weak). Very light wind, so the surface should be smooth, but the swell is still weak. It’s a session for the patient surfer.

The last real highlight is on Thursday the 27th, August, in the afternoon. Cross-offshore wind from the south-southwest at 16 mph, swell 5 ft from the WNW, period 5 seconds, combined energy 98 (weak). The wind is clean, and the size is there, but the period is short. This one is more for the experienced surfer who can handle a bit of a wonky wave.

Honestly, the crowds are likely to be around at Noorderstrand when it’s breaking, but this stretch is mostly for the committed. The beach and reef setup here might also catch the eye of kite surfers when the wind is strong and the waves are messy.

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.
