The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Norderney over the next couple of weeks.
To be fair, it's a pretty grim start and there's a long dry spell to get through first. From now until the morning of Sunday, 16th August, you're looking at a solid gap of about ten days with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the shop, and the wave energy is mostly weak, often in the single digits (like 6 or 29). The water's about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The one and only chance to score a wave comes on Sunday, 16th August. The morning session is where it's at. We've got a 5ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 291, which is moderate wave energy. The wind is a gentle breeze from the WSW, which is cross-offshore, and it's clean. That's your standout. The break is Norderney itself, and it's a beginner-friendly spot that's fairly consistent. The swell direction is NNW optimum, and we're getting WNW, which is a bit off but still workable. The crowd factor is "sometimes", so you might have a few out, but it's not a circus.
Later that afternoon the wind swings to a fresh cross-shore from the WNW and the quality drops right off. After that, Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th see the swell fade away again, with the 18th offering tiny 0.7ft clean conditions but no push. Wednesday the 19th is a write-off with a near gale, and Thursday the 20th brings a bit of a pulse with 3ft and clean offshore winds, but the energy is only 59, so it's small and ordinary.
So, bottom line: if you're keen, you've got one real shot on the morning of Sunday, 16th August. Get on it.
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.
