The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the Norderney stretch over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty grim. There’s a massive gap right at the start with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. You’ll be waiting a long time for anything to show up.

The first real sign of life doesn’t arrive until Saturday the 18th. The swell starts to build, but the wind is a real problem. By Saturday morning, a fresh cross-onshore breeze from the WNW is blowing at 22 mph, and the swell is around 5 ft from the NW. The combined energy jumps to 144 (moderate), but it’s lumpy and messy. By Saturday afternoon, it gets a bit bigger, hitting 6 ft from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy rockets up to 356 (strong). But again, that fresh 22 mph cross-onshore wind is just going to trash it. The rip bowls might be running, but you’ll be fighting a chop that makes it feel more like a washing machine than a surf break.

Sunday the 19th is a similar story. Sunday morning sees 5 ft of NW swell (energy 223) under a fresh cross-shore wind, and by the afternoon it’s 5 ft from the NW (energy 306) with a fresh onshore wind. The wave quality is poor across the board. Honestly, with that much wind and swell, this setup is looking more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.

After that little pulse, it fades out fast. The rest of the week into the following week is a slow decline back into tiny, weak, and wind-affected leftovers. Monday the 20th has some 4 ft swell, but it’s still choppy and cross-onshore. From Tuesday the 21st onward, it’s all under 3 ft and the energy drops off a cliff. By the end of the month, we’re back to flat calm with no swell at all.

There are no standouts here. No one day is worth circling on the calendar. The best you could hope for, and I’m stretching here, would be a very wind-affected session on Saturday the 18th or Sunday the 19th if you’re desperate and don’t mind the mess. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.

Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath. This is one of those blank runs that’s just normal for the area.

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.
