The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Norderney over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with ya – it’s a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for a proper paddle session. We’re looking at a long, dry gap here with no real surf on offer from the start. The first few days of the period are all “poor surf conditions” with zero scores, and that pattern just keeps rollin’ right through to the end. There’s no standout day, no hidden gem, just a whole lotta wind and chop.
The first real chance, and I use that word loosely, pops up around the 28th of July. You’ll see a bit of a bump in size with a 5 ft to 6 ft WNW-to-NW swell, but the wind is howlin’ at 25 mph. It’s a cross-off wind, which cleans things up, but that’s gale-force territory. By the 29th of July, the swell kicks up to 7 ft with a 10-second period from the NW, and the combined energy is strong (804). But with a 31 mph near-gale wind putting a cross-shore chop on it, that’s not a surfer’s wave – that’s a kite surfer’s dream. The setup’s a beach break, so for paddle surfing, it’s a no-go. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
For the rest of the run, from the 30th of July onward, it’s the same sad story: dropping swell, persistent strong to near-gale winds, and cross-onshore or messy conditions. The swell drops below 3 ft by the 31st and fizzles out completely into the first week of August. There’s just nothing to get excited about. It’s one of those blank runs where the forecasts can change, but right now, the only thing consistent is the inconsistency of good surf.
Rusty, out.

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.
