Table - best surf conditions forecast for Norderney over the next 16 days.
Alright, it’s been a slow one for Norderney. The water’s a touch warmer than average for July at 18°, but that’s the only easy thing about it.
You’re looking at a long flat spell until Saturday, July 18th when a NW wind finally kicks up some swell. Saturday morning brings 1.3m waves, but it’s a fresh cross-onshore, so it’s lumpy. It gets bigger in the afternoon, hitting 1.7m with an 8-second period, but the wind is a strong breeze, so it’s messy. The energy is moderate (384) but it’s not clean.
Then Sunday, July 19th morning is the real standout. The wind goes offshore from the NNW, which means clean surf. The swell is 1.5m with an 8-second period, and the energy is strong (291). That’s your best window – clean, rideable, and a bit of push. The afternoon turns back to a cross-onshore, so make the most of the morning.
After that, it’s downhill. The rest of the week is choppy and onshore, with wave heights dropping under 1m. By the 23rd and 24th, the wind is howling at near-gale and strong breeze, making it a mess. For a beach break, that’s more of a kite day than a paddle day.
The last hope is Tuesday, July 28th morning. The wind is offshore from the S at 20 km/h, and the swell is 1.1m from the W. The period is short at 5 seconds, and the energy is moderate (56). It’s called “surfable but very ordinary,” so it’s a small, clean window, but nothing special. The afternoon goes back to chop.
So, if you’re itching, the morning of the 19th is your only real shot. The rest of the 16 days is mostly a write-off.

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.
