The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s shakin’ for the Norderney stretch over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the surf is pretty much nonexistent for the first week and a half. We’re lookin’ at a long, dry spell from now until about the 8th of August. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the scores are flat. It’s a real bummer, but it happens here. Don’t lose hope though; the forecast can change, and it doesn’t stay this quiet forever.
The first real glimmer of something rideable shows up on the morning of Tuesday, 11 August. The swell builds to a solid 6 ft out of the NW at Norderney. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 490 (moderate wave energy). But here’s the catch – the wind is a light cross-onshore from the NE, and the conditions are only described as marginal. The period is a short 9 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and not the cleanest. Honestly, this is the only wave on the board, but it’s not the kind of day you’d drive across town for. It’s more of a “maybe paddle out if you’re desperate” situation.
Looking at the bigger picture, the water temp is sitting at 65°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least the wait won’t be too cold.
So, to sum it up: the 16-day window is a near-total washout for surfable waves. The only chance is that Tuesday, 11 August morning, and even that’s a marginal call. Keep your eyes on the charts, but don’t hold your breath.
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.
