Table - best surf conditions forecast for Norderney over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Norderney over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it’s a tough stretch. The forecast is basically a long, flat spell broken up by some windy, messy days. For the first week and a half, there’s nothing that’s really worth paddling out for. We’re looking at a solid run of poor surf conditions from now until about the 24th of July. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is tiny and weak. The combined energy is below 100 (at best 147) for most of that time, which is just not enough to get excited about. You’re looking at waves under 4ft with short, weak periods.
The best of the bunch, and the only real standout in this entire 16-day window, is the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. We finally get a bit of size pushing through from the WNW, with a swell height of 6ft and a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps up to a moderate 383, which is a big step up from the rest. The wind is light from the North, which is onshore, but with only a slight air, it might be glassy enough to be clean. That’s your window. For a beginner spot, this is getting a bit meaty, but for anyone with some experience, it’s the only time the waves will have any push. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got.
The rest of the forecast is a write-off. The afternoon of the 24th sees a bigger pulse of 6ft from the West, but it’s hammered by a moderate cross-onshore breeze, making it choppy and messy. The 21st and 22nd have some swell, but it’s blown out by fresh winds. A few days like the 16th and the 26th of July have clean-looking conditions, but the swell is gone, dropping to under 2ft.
So, keep your expectations low. It’s a long wait for a very average Saturday morning. Don’t bother with the rest.
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.
