Norderney Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s be straight with you. I’ve looked over the next couple of weeks, and it’s a tough one. Honestly, there’s not a single day in this whole 16-day stretch that I’d point you toward for a proper surf. The score is a flat zero across the board. We’ve got a long stretch of nada, with only a small bump of energy mid-week next week, but the wind and conditions just kill it.

We start off with nothing worth mentioning. The waves are small, the winds are messy, and it’s just not clicking. We’re looking at a gap of several days with nothing on offer. It’s bleak.

Then, around Wednesday the 19th, we see a bit of a pulse. Swell heights push up to 5ft to 6ft, and the energy climbs to a moderate 172 and then 234. But here’s the thing—the wind is howling out of the west at 22 mph, which is a fresh cross-shore breeze. That’s going to chop it all up. It’s not going to be a clean wave; it’ll be lumpy and messy. This might be more interesting for the kite crowd than for paddle surfers, to be honest.

The swell drops back down again after that, and the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore for the rest of the period. We get a little bit of a better window on Tuesday the 18th, with some offshore and cross-offshore winds, but the swell is small at 2ft with weak energy (38 and 54). It’s clean, but there’s just not enough push to make it worth your while.

The only time we see glassy conditions is on the morning of Friday the 28th, but by then, the swell has completely flat-lined at 1ft, with energy at a pitiful 12. It’s just a flat, glassy ocean with no waves.

There is no standout. There is no day that I can tell you to go. It’s one of those blank runs that happen here. But don’t lose hope entirely—the conditions can always change, and this forecast is a long way out for the later stuff. Keep an eye on the charts, because it tends not to stay this poor for long.

Hang in there.
