The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Gonna be honest with you – this 16-day look at Norderney is a real bummer. The finder didn’t give me a single recommendation, so we’re staring down a long stretch of crummy conditions. For this area, a blank run like this is pretty normal when the wind and swell don’t cooperate. Norderney is fairly consistent, so it’ll turn around eventually, but don’t hold your breath for the next two weeks.
We start off Saturday the 25th. Nothing. Sunday the 26th morning is the only tiny glimmer in the first week. There’s a small 3ft swell from the NW, with a 7-second period, and a light WSW cross-offshore breeze keeping things clean. The combined energy is weak (96), so it’s not going to be anything special, but it’s surfable. That’s about the best you’re gonna get.
Then we hit a big dry spell. Monday the 27th through the end of the month is all poor surf. The wind is onshore, cross, or just messy. The swell stays below 3ft, but the period is short and lumpy, and the wind is always junk. The 29th has a glassy Wednesday morning with a tiny 2ft swell from the NNW, but the energy is so low (52) it’s barely a ripple. Not worth the effort.
The first week of August is more of the same. The 4th of August morning is glassy, but there’s no swell at all – zero energy. The 6th of August Thursday afternoon brings a 5ft swell from the WNW with a 6-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (119). But the wind is a cross-shore from the WNW at 25 km/h, creating a lumpy chop. It’s raw, messy, and honestly, with that wind and a beach break setup, this one looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The only standout, and I mean the only one, is the 7th of August Friday morning. We get a 4ft swell from the NW with a 7-second period and a combined energy of 156 (moderate). The wind is from the NE at only 10 km/h, a light cross-on. It’s clean-ish, but it’s still a cross-on, and the period is short. It’s the best of a bad lot, but don’t get excited.
The 9th of August Sunday sees another pulse of 5ft to 5ft swell from the WNW, with moderate energy (137-170), but the wind is a fresh 30 km/h cross-shore. That’s just lumpy, blown-out junk. Again, better for the kite crew.
So, bottom line: there’s no good surf on offer in this 16-day window. The closest thing to a wave is the 26th of July morning or the 7th of August morning, but even then, you’re scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
