Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for the local zone, Norderney.
Right off the bat, the next week and a half is looking pretty grim for any real surfing. There's a big dry spell coming. The first decent chance for a wave isn't until well into the second week, so expect to be waiting it out. The early days are all cross-onshore winds and tiny, weak swell. The wave energy is low, barely getting into triple digits.
We do get a bump of size on Sunday, July 12th, with a 5ft swell from the NNW, but it’s blown out by a fresh cross-on breeze, making it lumpy and messy. The combined energy gets up there around 199, but the quality is just junk. For a beach break setup like this, that just means wind-slapped, closeout mush. Wouldn't be surprised to see the kite surfers having a better time of it.
The one real standout, and the only window I’d put my money on, is on Tuesday, July 21st. The morning is looking like the absolute pick of the forecast. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the NW, but the real story is that solid 15 mph offshore wind from the SSW. That’s going to clean the waves right up and hold the face open. The water temp is running at 65°, which is a touch warmer than we usually have this time of year – a nice bonus. Just remember, this is a long way out, so don’t book the time off just yet, but as it stands, that Tuesday morning is the one spot on the horizon.
So, bottom line: the next two weeks are mostly a snooze. But that Tuesday, July 21st morning? That’s the one to circle on the calendar.
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.
