The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – we’re in a bit of a flat spell to start. The first real surfable day is a long way off, so don't be in a rush.
The first half of the forecast is a write-off, with a solid 11-day gap from now until the 11th of August where there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the shop, and we’re just getting chopped-up, poor conditions. Save your energy.
Things finally start to turn on the 11th of August. We’ve got a pulse of swell coming in at Norderney. It’s a NNW swell, about 4ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, hitting 153 (moderate wave energy). It’s not going to be perfect, but the wind is a light offshore from the SW, which is a major positive. It’ll be clean, and for a spot that’s been dead for days, this is a welcome sight. The water is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, which is nice.
Then on the 13th of August, the ocean really wakes up. A solid NNW swell fills in, pushing 5ft to 6ft. The energy jumps way up to 302 and 322 (strong wave energy). This is for experienced surfers only – it’s getting proper size. The wind, however, is a fresh cross-onshore out of the NW, so it’s going to be lumpy and messy. The swell period is 8 seconds, so it’s a bit short and won’t have the best shape, but there’s a lot of water moving around. Norderney will be offering the most power in the whole 16-day window, but don’t expect glassy perfection. This is a big, raw, and challenging day.
For the days after that, the 14th of August, the size drops back to a more manageable 3ft to 3ft, with the wind still onshore from the NW, making for a choppy session.
Overall, the standout is the window from the 11th to the 13th of August. The 11th is your best bet for clean, fun waves on a board, while the 13th is for the big-wave crew who don't mind a bit of chop.
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.
