The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up.
Well, to be honest, it's a pretty bleak picture for the next little while. We've got a long stretch of days with very little to get excited about on the waves. There's only one spot in the mix, and it looks like we're in for a bit of a dry spell. From now, right through until the 23rd of August, there are hardly any sessions worth getting wet for. You'll see a few small bumps here and there, but the conditions just aren't cooperating for a decent paddle. Hold tight, because it's a waiting game.
Finally, on Saturday, the 24th of August, we see a bit of a pulse. We go straight to Norderney. The swell pushes to around 4.3 ft out of the NW, and that combined energy is moderate at 167. It's a spot that can work, and it’s fairly consistent, so you can expect some waves to roll through. The cross-shore wind on Monday morning will have things a little lumpy, but it's the best of a quiet window. It's a beginner-friendly break at this size.
Then, it looks like the best of the run comes just a day later on Monday, the 25th of August. Again at Norderney. The swell is building, coming in at 5.6 ft out of the NW. The energy is solidly into the moderate range at 248. This is starting to have a bit of push. The wind is a cross-off in the morning, which is a major plus. You're looking at the cleanest, most workable surf of the entire forecast. It's a bigger day, so it's a step up from beginner territory, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is the one to circle.
The period on these waves is a short 7 seconds, so don't expect long, groundswell lines. It's more of a windswell setup, but it's still surfable.

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.
