Table - best surf conditions forecast for Noorderstrand over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s coming up.
Honestly, we’re looking at a pretty bleak stretch ahead at Noorderstrand. The whole 16-day window is pretty much one long, flat spell with barely anything worth paddling out for. It’s a tough run.
Starting off now, right through the weekend and into early next week, we’ve got next to nothing. Tiny little waves from the north, mostly under 3 ft, and the energy is super weak (combined swell energy barely hitting 93 at its best). The wind is a problem too – mostly cross-onshore and choppy, making what little there is messy. There’s a small window on Friday morning the 10th with light ENE winds giving a clean look at 1 ft, but that’s barely a ripple.
We grind through a long gap of poor conditions right into the second week. Wednesday morning the 15th offers another brief clean moment with cross-off winds and a tiny 2 ft north swell, but it’s still just poor surf. Thursday morning the 16th has glassy conditions with a 1 ft NNE swell, but again, it’s tiny.
The only thing that even hints at life comes right at the end of the forecast, on Wednesday the 22nd. We see a bump in size with 5 ft to 5 ft swell from the northwest, and the combined energy climbs to 213 – that’s moderate energy at least. But the period is only 6 seconds, so it’s weak, wind-swell – short and crumbly. The wind is also cross-shore and messy, so it won’t be clean. Unless you're a kite surfer, it’s not going to be worth getting wet.
Forget about any standout sessions. There isn’t one. This is a classic blank run for the area. It tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, it’s a solid "leave the board in the car" kind of period. Forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope, but for the next two weeks, the beach looks more interesting for a kite than a paddle.
Stay patient,
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.
