The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in on the surf scene.
To be honest, the next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag, and for the most part, it's looking pretty average. We've got some peaks and troughs, but nothing that's going to have you calling in sick for work. Let's get into it.
We're starting off with a bit of a wait. The first few days are a write-off with poor surf conditions. Finally, on the morning of Sunday the 6th, we get a little something. The swell is tiny, only about 2ft from the NNW with a weak energy reading of 57, but we get a clean offshore wind from the SE. It's for the absolute beginners, but it's a start. That calm spell doesn't last long though, as the winds turn ugly again and the swell disappears.
There's a gap of a few days with nothing but messy, onshore junk. Then we get a little flicker of hope on Monday the 14th. The swell picks up to 7ft from the WSW, but the conditions are still only marginal with a cross-on wind. It's a 'maybe' session if you're desperate.
Now, for the one true standout in this whole outlook. Look ahead to the morning of Tuesday the 15th of September. It's the only day that really gets the blood pumping. Noorderstrand is looking at a solid 10ft swell from the NW with a long 10 second period. The combined energy is a massive 1430, so there is a heap of power in the water. Problem is, that's way too big for a beginner spot. This is strictly for the experts only. The wind is a moderate cross-on from the WNW, so it won't be perfect, but the sheer size and power will have a few takers. Just be warned, the crowds are often out here, so expect some company if you're brave enough.
Other than that, it's a pretty bleak run. The few other days with any size have the wind blowing all wrong, and the water temp is riding at 68°F, which is about 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That's noticeable, a bit of a surprise for September, but it won't help make the waves any better.
So, to sum it up: a tough run of surf with mostly poor quality. The big pulse on the 15th is the only true standout, but it's for the big dogs only. The rest of the time, you might be better off checking a different hobby until things settle down.
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.
