The Lowdown

Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on Norderney.

Honestly, the first nine days are a complete bust. From Wednesday the 16th through Thursday the 24th, it’s all “poor surf conditions.” Wind’s howling, surf is small and chopped up. On Friday the 18th, the swell hits 5ft from the WNW with a combined energy of (255), but that fresh cross-offshore wind keeps it clean-ish with a weak 8-second period. Not worth the hassle. A total skip.

Then Friday the 25th of September rolls in. The swell jumps to 7ft from the NW with a combined energy of (441). That’s a serious amount of water, but with a cross-onshore wind and only an 8-second period, it’s going to be a lumpy, choppy mess. Only for the hardcore, if anyone.

Here’s your one and only shot. Saturday morning the 26th of September. The swell is a clean 5ft from the north, with a 10-second period and a combined energy of (441). That’s a proper groundswell. The wind is light out of the NW at 6 mph, just a light cross-onshore breeze. It’s the only session in the whole 16-day window that even gets a whiff of a recommendation.

It’s an exposed beach break, so with that longer period, the sets might close out a bit, but the light wind will keep it glassy. The crowds are “sometimes,” so you might see a few others. At 5ft, it’s pushing the limits for beginners. Water temp is about right for the season.

After that, it’s all flat and howling wind. Sunday the 27th is dead, and the last few days are a gale-force disaster.

Your one day is Saturday the 26th of September. Be there.

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.
