The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about Norderney. This outlook is a tough one. There’s not a single day in the next 16 days that gets a decent rating. For a stretch like this, you’re looking at a blank run that’s pretty normal for the area when the wind and swell don’t line up.
We start with a bit of a wait. The first chance of anything surfable doesn’t arrive until Sunday, September 6th. Even then, it’s pretty weak. On Sunday morning, there’s a 3.6ft swell from the NW, but the energy is really low at 162. It’s clean, with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the surf is small and ordinary. Sunday afternoon is the standout of the entire forecast, which tells you something. The swell drops to 2.6ft from the NNW, but it goes completely glassy with zero wind. It’ll be tiny, weak (80 energy), and clean enough to get out on a log if you’re desperate.
After that, it’s pretty much a write-off. Monday the 7th sees the swell vanish to near nothing. There’s a brief moment on Thursday, September 10th, with an afternoon window of 2.3ft from the NNW and a moderate offshore wind, but the energy is only 58 – barely a ripple.
The rest of the period into the second week is a mix of strong winds, rain, and blown-out, messy conditions. The water temp is sitting at 65.7°, which is about a touch warmer than normal for the time of year. If you’re a beginner, there’s nothing here for you; when the swell does pop above 5ft in early September, it’s accompanied by nasty near-gale winds and cross-chop. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this run.
It’s a quiet stretch, mates. Stick to the glassy Sunday afternoon if you want a paddle, but keep your expectations in the sand.

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.
