Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we've got coming up for Norderney over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a tough outlook. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it. Right from Saturday afternoon, July 4th, the pattern locks in and it just won't let go. We've got a solid week, right through to July 11th, with persistent onshore and cross-shore winds. Swell is there, but it's all short-period, wind-driven junk in the 4 to 6 second range. The water is 66°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's the only nice thing I can say. The combined wave energy gets up to a moderate 186 on Monday afternoon, but with those winds, it's just a messy, lumpy, cross-chop. Not the kind of afternoon you paddle out for unless you enjoy a beating.
Things look different on Thursday morning, July 9th. We get a window of glassy conditions with a slight air, and the swell is a tiny 2 feet from the NNW. The combined energy is a weak 35. It's clean, sure, but there's hardly any push. You'd be on a longboard, or more likely, just sitting there. That's the only time in the first week the wind is even close to friendly.
From July 10th right through to July 19th, the surf is all below 3 feet, with periods sitting at 3 to 6 seconds. The combined energy drops right off, falling into the double digits and often single digits – that's barely a ripple. The breeze stays messy, mostly cross or cross-on. There just isn’t a single standout session in this whole 16-day window. For Norderney, a blank run like this, with persistent wind and tiny swell, is just something we have to sit through. The conditions aren't there for a proper paddle. To be honest, with that cross-shore breeze and the lumpy stuff, this looks like it's more interesting for the kite crew than anyone with a surfboard under their arm.
So, keep your board in the car but your expectations low. The forecasts can always change, but for now, this is a long stretch of nothing worth writing home about.
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.
