The Lowdown
Right folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Noorderstrand over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it's a pretty grim run. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. There's just nothing happening that's worth getting wet for. The water is sitting at 68°F on the 29th, which is a whopping 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a warm bath, but it won't make the waves any better.
The only day that shows a glimmer of something is the morning of the 8th of August. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the West, with a weak period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is a paltry 53, so it's a weak, windswell affair. The wind is a light southerly, which is a clean cross-offshore breeze, so the surface should be clean. The notes say "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which is about as generous as you can get. It's a beginner spot, but it's also "often" crowded, so you'll be fighting for those knee-high lumps.
The rest of the period is a nightmare of cross-onshore winds, choppy water, and tiny, weak swells. The swell directions are all over the place – NNW, W, N, NNE – none of which match the preferred NW for this exposed beach. The periods are short, mostly under 8 seconds, meaning weak, disorganised waves. The combined energy readings are all in the single or low double digits, which is as weak as it gets. For a beach break like this, with these conditions, it honestly looks more interesting for a kite surfer than someone on a paddle board. The crowds are "often" a problem, but with nothing to ride, it won't matter.
So, don't bother. The 8th of August morning is the only potential, and it's a very low bar. This is one of those blank runs that's pretty normal for the area when the conditions don't line up. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a no-go.
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.
