The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, switching to feet and knots.
Let’s be honest, the next two weeks are a wasteland for decent surf. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions, so don’t get your hopes up. The water is sitting at 70°F right now, which is a full 6°F warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, and honestly, it feels a bit off.
The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t pop up until Sunday, August 16th, on the morning. We’re looking at a small 3ft swell from the west, with a short period of 5 seconds. The energy is weak (52), and while the wind is light and clean out of the east-northeast, it’s a cross-offshore, so it might be rideable for a beginner. The waves are described as “surfable but very ordinary,” so don’t expect much. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore wind.
After that, it’s more of the same – small, weak swells and poor conditions. Wednesday, August 19th, has another morning window with a 4ft west swell, period of 5 seconds, and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the south-southwest. The energy is still low (60), and it’s only a “surfable but very ordinary” call. It’s something for the loggers, but that’s about it.
The only real standout in the whole 16-day window is the morning of Thursday, August 20th. We get a 5ft swell from the west-northwest with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (167). The wind is glassy – absolute zero – right out of the west-northwest. That’s a major positive for a clean, lined-up wave. The swell is over 5ft, so it’s getting too big for beginners, but for the experienced crew, this is the best shot we’ll get. The waves are described as “surfable but very ordinary,” but with that glassy surface, it’ll be a lot more fun than it looks on paper. The direction is a touch north of the optimal swell direction (NW), but it’s close enough. The afternoon will be wrecked by a strong onshore wind, so make sure you get out early.
Honestly, there’s a lot of blank days with zero recommendations. This is a tough run for the area. If you’re desperate, the 20th is your only real window to score something decent, but it’s not a classic. Keep an eye on the forecasts, ‘cause it tends not to stay this poor for long.
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.
