The Lowdown

Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the Norderney stretch.

Alright, let's be straight with you. The forecast for the next week or so is a bit of a tough one. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and often messy surf. The first decent recommendation doesn't pop up until we get into the second week of the period, so don't expect to be rushing to the water just yet.

For the first week, from Friday the 7th right through to around the 14th of August, it's a real struggle. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 feet, the period is short, and the wind is a problem. You'll get a few mornings with clean conditions, like Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. The combined energy is pitifully low, often in the single digits. It's a classic wait-and-see situation.

The first real sign of life comes later on Tuesday the 11th of August. Early Tuesday morning we see a pulse of swell from the NNW at 4 feet, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 102 (moderate), but the wind is howling directly onshore from the NNW at 12 mph. The raw power is there, but it's going to be a messy, blown-out mess. It's a pass for most.

The situation improves a little by the following weekend. On Saturday the 15th of August, there's a bit more push from the NNW, but the wind is a strong cross-onshore, making for lumpy, choppy conditions. The combined energy is still only 19 to 31 (weak), so it's not a recommendation.

The standout, and I mean the only real standout in this entire 16-day window, is shaping up for the end of the period. We're looking at Norderney on Saturday the 22nd of August. The afternoon shows a solid increase in swell from the WNW at 5 feet with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy kicks up to 487 (strong), which is a proper injection of power. The catch is the wind will be a moderate cross-onshore from the NW at 16 mph, which will keep it a bit bumpy. But for this area, and given the dry spell we've had, that's the one to aim for. The water temperature is a warm 69°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, a nice bonus for the first break we mention.

The morning of the 22nd will also be a decent option with 5 feet swell from the WNW, but the wind is a cross-shore, which might be a bit cleaner. The main thing is, if you're looking for a wave, that's your window. After that, the forecast is looking sketchy again with a severe gale warning for the 21st that will likely ruin any setup.

So, to sum it up: a long, dry spell until the 22nd of August. That's your best bet. It's a long way off, so keep an eye on it, but for now, that's the only real highlight on the horizon.

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.
