Alright, let me tell you, it's Rusty here, and I've got to be straight with you about Norderney. We're looking at a pretty bleak run for the next couple of weeks.
We kick things off on Wednesday the 8th of July, but honestly, there's nothing to get excited about. The early part of the outlook is dead quiet. We're stuck with tiny, wind-blown lumps. The wind is howling from the northwest, up to 18 mph, and that cross-onshore breeze just makes a mess of things. The swell is weak and short-period, around 4 feet but with very low energy, so it's all chop and no push. Conditions go from poor to worse, with waves barely breaking.
This flat spell drags on for days. A little bump shows up on Sunday the 12th of July, with 5 feet of swell from the NNW, but the energy is still low for the size, and a moderate cross-onshore wind keeps it choppy and unattractive. Monday and Tuesday are no better. There's really nothing here to recommend.
We finally see a bit of a shift heading into the second week. Saturday the 18th of July shows some life. The morning session has a clean, glassy feel with a gentle offshore breeze, and the swell picks up to 4 feet from the NNW. The energy is still just moderate, so the waves will be soft, but at least it’s clean. By the afternoon, the swell jumps to 5 feet from the NNW, and the energy kicks up a fair bit, but the wind turns cross-onshore and light, which will put a few ripples on the face. Still, this is the best on offer for the whole outlook.
The big standout is Sunday the 19th of July. The swell is solid, 8 feet from the NNW, with strong energy pushing through. This is a powerful groundswell, but the long period (9 seconds) means it's not a classic clean groundswell. The morning has a gentle cross-shore wind, but that's enough to keep it a bit lumpy. With swell that big, over 8 feet, this is only for the experienced crew. It's a North Sea beach break, and with this much energy, it might actually be more fun for the kite surfers.
For the rest of the forecast, it fades back to small, weak, and messy. The afternoon of Sunday the 19th drops to 7 feet, still powerful but choppy. After that, Monday the 20th brings a howling onshore gale (28 mph) and heavy rain, so stay out of the water. The final days of the outlook are all clean but tiny, with almost no energy. Save your energy.
Rusty.

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.
