The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the surf outlook for Noorderstrand. I gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days are a tough watch. The forecast shows pretty much nothing worth paddling out for, with all the records marked as poor surf conditions, which means the wave quality is just not there.
Looking at the whole run, the first proper swell we see is on Thursday, the 6th of August, with a knee-high 3 ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is a messy cross-on at 16 mph, and the combined energy is a weak 56, so it’s choppy and blown out. That’s a no-go. The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is a staggering 6° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s very unusual, and it’s going to feel like a warm bath out there.
We then roll through a long, dry spell. From the 6th all the way through to the 19th of August, every single morning and afternoon window is rated as poor. The swell heights barely tickle 3 ft, and the periods are short, mostly under 8 seconds, so there’s no real push. The wind is often cross-on or onshore, and the combined energy rarely gets into the moderate range. There’s a moment on the 14th of August, Friday morning, where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3 ft – that’s a lake, not a surf.
Around the 19th of August, Wednesday afternoon, we get the biggest bump of the whole period: a 5 ft swell from the WSW, but the period is still a short 6 seconds, and the wind is cross-on. The combined energy hits 178, which is moderate, but the quality is still listed as poor. It’s going to be a messy, lumpy close-out. By the 21st of August, Friday afternoon, we see a 4 ft swell from the NNW, but again, short period and onshore wind.
There is no standout session here. The entire 16-day window is a bust. For a spot like Noorderstrand, which is fairly consistent, a blank run like this feels frustrating, but it happens. The setup is an exposed beach, so with the significant swell on the 19th, the poor surf quality, and the strong wind, this honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now. There’s simply nothing to recommend.
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.
