The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on offer for Norderney over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a tough outlook. We’ve got a long stretch of flat or near-flat, junk conditions to start. For the first 12 days, every single session is rated poor, and the swell is simply not there. There’s nothing rideable from Saturday the 25th of July right through to Wednesday the 5th of August. That’s a solid gap of over a week with absolutely no recommendations.
The only light at the end of the tunnel shows up on Friday the 7th of August. The morning sees a bump up to 3 ft from the NW, with a period of 7 seconds. The wind is a cross-off from the SW at 25 mph, keeping things clean at Norderney. Combined wave energy hits a moderate 123. By the afternoon, the swell ticks up to 4 ft from the NW, period 8 seconds, and the energy jumps to 196. The wind stays cross-off from the WSW at 25 mph. It’s still rated poor in the finder, but relative to the dead flat run before it, this is the only pulse on the cards.
Saturday the 8th of August is the standout. The morning delivers 4 ft from the NW at 8 seconds, with strong energy of 216. Wind is cross-off from the WSW at 19 mph – clean conditions. For a beach break like Norderney, that’s as good as it’s going to get in this window. The afternoon drops a little to 4 ft, but still solid. Sunday the 9th of August drops off with onshore choppy winds kicking in.
So, if you’re a beginner, the biggest swell here is around 4 ft, so it’s manageable but not ideal. For the rest of us, Saturday the 8th of August morning is the one to aim for. It’s not perfect, but after two weeks of nothing, it’s the only chance to get wet.
Keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change. This run looks bleak now, but it won’t stay poor forever.
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.
