The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, checkin' in from the coast. It's a tough stretch ahead for the surf scene, I won't lie to you. The whole 16-day window is lookin' pretty bleak, not a single standout session in sight. The forecast is basically a long run of poor surf conditions, so if you're itchin' for a wave, you might be better off savin' the petrol. The onshore winds are gonna be the main culprit, churning up what little swell we get.
Let's break it down. From Wednesday, July 15th, right through to the end of July, it's a near-constant diet of cross-onshore and onshore winds. The swell is small, mostly under 3ft, with a short period, so it's pretty gutless. The wave energy from the combined swells is weak, often in the double digits (like 40, 11, 21), not enough to get excited about. Around Saturday, July 18th and Sunday, July 19th, the swell bumps up a bit to 4ft to 5ft, and the combined energy gets into the moderate range (119 to 172), but with the wind blowin' straight onshore and cross-onshore, it's gonna be messy and choppy. Not worth paddlin' out for.
The only real shift comes near the end of the month. On Wednesday, July 29th, the swell gets a bit of push to 6ft, and the wave energy jumps to a strong 216 to 264. But the wind is still onshore, and the direction is from the WSW, which is not the optimum NW for this spot. It’s a beach break, so with that wind and swell, it's gonna be blown-out and sloppy. Honestly, it might be more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle guys.
Even the last few days, with a bit of cross-offshore wind on the morning of Tuesday, July 28th, the swell is only 0.7ft. There's just nothin' to work with here. The water temperature is about 69°F, which is a huge 7°F warmer than usual for this time of year—very unusual, but it doesn't change the fact that the waves are a write-off. So, to be blunt, there’s no good surf on offer in this 16-day forecast. A blank run like this is more normal for the area when the winds don't play ball. All we can do is hope the forecasts change.
Rusty.

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.
