Table - best surf conditions forecast for Noorderstrand over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Noorderstrand over the coming weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a paddle. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to speak of for over a week. From now until the morning of Friday the 24th of July, every single session is marked as poor surf conditions. That’s a solid stretch of flatness, so don't bother checking the cam. The small bits of swell we do see are tiny, with short periods under 8 seconds, and the wind is almost always cross or cross-onshore, just making a mess of things. The combined wave energy stays weak, barely cracking 100 (24 to 97), so there’s just nothing doing.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t arrive until the afternoon of Friday the 24th of July. There’s a solid pulse of swell on the chart, with heights up to 8 ft from the WSW, but the period is still short at 7 seconds. The report calls it a “marginal” call for that morning, so it’s a bit iffy. The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s not clean.
Now, the one true standout in this entire outlook is Saturday the 25th of July. That’s your day. The morning brings in a solid 6 ft swell from the west with a 6-second period and combined wave energy of 300 (moderate). The wind switches to a light cross-offshore breeze from the east at 9 mph. The report says "clean," and that’s music to my ears. The afternoon holds similar conditions with 5 ft from the west and the same clean, cross-offshore wind. This is the best on offer, no question. It’s not a huge groundswell, but with those clean conditions, Noorderstrand should be offering up some fun, rideable waves. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Looking further out, Sunday the 26th of July has some clean offshore morning wind (ESE at 9 mph) but the swell has dropped off a lot to 3 ft from the WSW with weak energy (64). It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
So, the takeaway: don't bother for the first week and a bit. Save your energy for Saturday the 25th. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.
Keep it salty.

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.
