The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s cut to it. The outlook for the next sixteen days is a tough one. We’re staring down the barrel of a long stretch with nothing worth paddling out for. The models are showing a real flat spell across the whole region.
We start off with a bit of a tease on the 22nd of July. Norderney is showing some swell, but it's a mess. That swell is coming in at 5 ft to 6 ft from the NW, but with a short period of 7 to 8 seconds and a brutal 25 mph cross-onshore wind, it’s just blown-out junk. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 66°F. The combined energy is moderate (244), but it’s all for nothing with that wind. Not a single day in the first week offers a clean wave. The wind is howling from the NW, keeping everything lumpy and choppy.
The situation doesn't improve. We have a gap of several days with no recommendations. The swell is tiny, and the wind is rarely kind. Even when we get a brief moment of glassy conditions on the 30th of July, the swell is only 2 ft with a weak combined energy of 27. It’s just not enough.
We move into the first week of August, and the same story continues. The 2nd of August has a glimmer of a clean morning, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3 ft. Then, on the 3rd of August, we see a pulse of longer-period swell. The swell height is 4 ft from the NW with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate (278). But the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s still choppy. It’s the only real pulse of the entire forecast, but it’s a long way off and the conditions aren't looking clean. For a spot like Norderney, a beach break, that long period might make it break a bit too straight.
Honestly, this is a tough one. There’s no standout. The setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the period. Just a flat, windy, and messy run. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run.
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.
