The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it.
Gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is going to be a tough watch for us at Noorderstrand. Right from Sunday the 26th through to at least the start of August, it’s a proper write-off. We’ve got short-period, weak windswell and pretty much constant onshore or cross-shore winds messing everything up.
The real problem is most of the wave energy is tiny. We’ll see Sunday morning with only 61 units of combined energy, and it doesn’t get much better for days. A few bigger pulses try to push in, but they’re always paired with winds that kill the quality. Tuesday the 4th of August has a kick in energy – 103 units on the morning and 115 in the afternoon – but it’s messy cross-shore and cross-onshore chop, so it’s not worth getting excited about.
There's one real standout in this whole 16-day window, and it comes up on Friday, the 7th of August. The morning session looks like the one to circle. We’re looking at 5ft of swell from the SW, and what tops it off is glassy conditions – a light offshore from the SSE. That’s clean surf, and honestly, the only decent chance we get. The combined energy is 207, so there’s some moderate push behind it. For a beginner spot, 5ft is at the upper end, so it could be a bit punchy for the less experienced, but it’s the best offer we have.
The water at Noorderstrand is sitting at a surprisingly warm 68°F right now, which is a couple of degrees above normal – it’s much warmer than usual for the time of year, so you can get away with a thinner suit if you’re brave enough to paddle out in the junk.
After that Friday morning, Saturday the 8th has a bigger, chunkier 8ft swell from the WNW with 595 units of energy, but the wind is all over the place – cross-shore, then onshore, and there are storms about. That one’s for the experts only, and even then, only if you’re desperate for a paddle. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a real surfer’s wave.
So, to sum it up: wait for Friday morning, the 7th of August. Go early, grab that glassy SW swell, and you’ll get something out of it. The rest of the run, you’re better off doing maintenance on your board.

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.
