The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk surf for Norderney over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bleak picture. The whole 16-day window is mostly flat and messy, with the first chance of any waves not showing up until Thursday the 23rd of July. Even then, it's nothing to write home about. There's a long gap of several days with nothing good on offer, and when any swell does pop up, the wind is almost always in the wrong spot.
Let's start with Norderney. The water temp is around 65°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The first swell on the 23rd afternoon is a 4ft NNW pulse with a short 8-second period and moderate energy (158). The problem? A cross-on wind from the NW at 16 mph just wrecks it. It's chopped-up and poor. The next few days don't get any better, with tiny waves under 3ft and periods dropping as low as 4 seconds.
We see a tiny bump on Monday the 27th of July with a 4ft NNW swell, but again the wind is cross-on at 12-16 mph, making for a lumpy, choppy surface. The energy is moderate (124-149), but the quality is just not there. By the start of August, the swell disappears completely, often under 1 foot with strong onshore winds. Even when the wind goes offshore on the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July, the swell is a pathetic 1ft. You can't ride that.
The second week is a total write-off. The swell stays tiny, usually under 2ft, with strong winds from the west and north-west. The energy readings are pitiful, often in the single digits. There's a brief moment on the afternoon of Wednesday the 5th of August with a light offshore breeze, but the swell is only 2ft from the west with a 5-second period. It's clean, but there's no power behind it.
So, the standout? There isn't one. This is one of those forecasts where you'd be better off doing something else. If you're a total beginner and just want to sit in some small, messy waves, maybe the 23rd of July is your day. But for any kind of quality wave, you're out of luck.

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.
