The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, taking a look at what’s on offer over the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough run. The forecast is looking pretty grim for most of the next 16 days. We’ve got a big gap of really poor conditions right from the start, so don’t get your hopes up for any decent waves soon.
The first real chance to paddle out comes later on Sunday the 6th of September. We’re looking at Norderney. The swell is tiny, only about 3ft from the NNW, with a short period of 8 seconds. The wave energy is weak (112). But the wind? It goes glassy in the afternoon. That’s a big positive. It’ll be clean, but the waves are small and very ordinary. It’s a surfable option for a beginner, but nothing to get excited about.
The next day, Monday the 7th, has a pulse of offshore wind in the morning, but the swell is only 1ft. It’s clean, but there’s just no power. Not worth a wet suit.
Then we hit a long stretch of junk. From Tuesday the 8th all the way through to the end of the forecast, it’s mostly poor. We get a bit of a bump in size on Thursday the 10th with a 7ft NW swell, but the wind is a strong cross-shore, making it a lumpy mess. That’s not surfable, that’s a battle.
The only other period that might catch your eye is around the 18th and 19th of September. There’s some solid swell showing – 7ft from the NNW on Friday the 18th, with a moderate energy (513). But the wind is cross-onshore, chopping it up. It’s not clean, and the size is in the expert-only zone. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that, the swell fades back to tiny, clean but weak conditions.
So, to be honest, the standout, if you can call it that, is the glassy session on Sunday afternoon, September 6th. It’s clean, it’s small, and it’s the only time the wind truly cooperates. Everything else is either blown out or too small. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Keep your eyes on the charts, but it looks like a long wait.
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.
