The Lowdown
Alright, let me level with you about Noorderstrand. It's gonna be a long, dry stretch. The water is sitting at 69°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – a real oddity, but that's the only bright spot. This whole 16-day window is a grind, with almost nothing worth paddling out for.
Starting on September 3rd, Thursday, it's a complete mess. Cross-onshore wind, lumpy conditions, and 1.6m swell at a short, weak 6 seconds. The combined energy is only 197 (weak to moderate), but the wind is just destroying it. That continues into Friday the 4th, where the swell hits 2.3m but with a full 28 mph cross-onshore blowout – combined energy is 531 (moderate to strong), but it's just raw, shapeless power. Saturday the 5th is more of the same onshore junk.
We get a small break on Sunday morning the 6th. The wind goes light offshore from the ESE at 9 mph, and the surf drops to a clean 2ft from the NNW, period of 8 seconds. Combined energy is a weak 55. It’s clean and tiny, surfable for a beginner, but don't get excited. The rest of that day and Monday are either too small or blown out.
Things stay grim all the way through the second week. There's a brief pulse of 6ft from the west on Tuesday the 8th, but it comes with a fresh cross-onshore wind and a combined energy of 268 (moderate). It's lumpy junk. Another pulse on the 9th shows a longer 9-second period from the NW with 307 energy (moderate) in the afternoon, but it’s still cross-onshore and choppy.
The only real highlight, and I mean the *only* one, is the morning of Tuesday, September 16th. We get a clean 6ft NNW swell with a 7-second period, combined energy at 297 (moderate). The wind is a slight offshore from the ENE at just 3 mph – basically glass. For Noorderstrand, that's the best you'll see in this forecast. It's a fun, clean size for an intermediate. But this is two weeks out, so keep your expectations in check. The afternoon goes onshore and ruins it.
The rest of the run into the 18th is too small, too windy, or both. There's a lot of onshore wind and short-period slop. Honestly, for a paddle surfer, the only day on the calendar is the morning of September 16th. Otherwise, with all that wind and swell, the kite surfers might have a better time on the bigger, messier days.

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.
