The Lowdown
Grim times ahead, folks. I gotta be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty damn bleak for a proper surf at Noorderstrand. We’ve got a long stretch of small, short-period, wind-chopped slop, and honestly, there isn’t a single day that jumps out as a “go-time” moment. It’s a tough pill to swallow, but that’s the reality of it.
The next two weeks are basically a write-off for any decent waves. We’ve got a couple of pulses of energy, but they’re weak and poorly directed. The swell is coming from the northwest, which is okay, but the winds are mostly cross-on or onshore, and the period is all over the place – mostly under 8 seconds, which means it’s just wind-slop with no push.
Looking at the start, Wednesday the 9th has some size, around 6.9 ft, but it's a junky 7-second wind swell with a strong cross-onshore breeze blowing 22 mph. It’s lumpy, messy, and just not worth the paddle. The combined energy is moderate (384), but the quality is zero. Thursday and Friday drop off fast, with the swell fading to under 3 ft and the wind still annoying.
There is a tiny window around Monday the 14th morning where the wind goes glassy and clean, but the swell is a pathetic 2 ft with a 5-second period. It’s just not enough to ride. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is 4.3° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a notable bump, for what it’s worth, even if the waves aren’t.
We get another slight bump in energy on the 24th, with the swell building to 4.3 ft, but it’s still a short-period, cross-onshore mess. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 102, but the wind ruins any chance of it being clean. It’s going to be a blown-out, lumpy mess.
Truth be told, there’s nothing here for a surfer. If you’re desperate, maybe the glassy morning on the 14th is worth a splash on a longboard, but even then, you’ll be fighting for nothing. This setup, with the strong winds and beach break, looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. So, leave the boards in the car, or take up a new hobby for a fortnight. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but as it stands, we are in for a blank run.

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.
