The Lowdown
Pull up a chair, because the next couple of weeks look pretty flat and lifeless around here. Norderney is not firing at all for the foreseeable future. The first real chance of anything rideable comes Thursday afternoon, and even that is nothing to write home about.
We’re stuck in a long stretch of tiny, weak slop and poor conditions. The water is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year at 66°, but that’s about the only plus side.
Thursday afternoon the 10th of September is the pick of a very sad bunch. The swell is a weak 3ft from the NNW with a period of 7 seconds, so it’s pretty soft and unexciting. The combined energy is only moderate (86). The wind is light at 6 mph and cross-offshore, which will keep the surface clean. It’s surfable, but only just. Beginners might score a couple of ankle-biters if they keep their expectations low.
After that, it’s basically a write-off. We get a few days around the 14th of September with similar tiny, clean conditions, but the swell is under 3ft and the period is short – just not enough push for any proper ride. Honestly, for a break exposed to the NNW, we are getting next to nothing.
Further out, around the 19th of September, there’s a whisper of a very small, clean 2ft swell from the NNW, but the combined energy is only 39, so it’s weak. Nothing stands out as worth a paddle. This is just a classic blank run for the area; the forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
If you’re desperate, the Thursday afternoon slot is the only window, but don’t expect much.

Information about the Norderney Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Norderney provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Norderney can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Norderney 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 (Norderney) 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 Norderney 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.
