The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.
Well, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough one. Looking at the whole 16-day window for Norderney, we’ve got a real dry spell on our hands. The forecast is basically a stinker for paddle surfing. Every single entry in the data says "poor surf conditions." There’s not a single recommendation to be found for the whole run. We’re looking at a solid blank stretch from now until the 13th of September.
The swell energy is pretty much non-existent for the first week, with values mostly in the single digits and low double digits, like 40 (weak energy) and 64 (weak energy). We do get a bit of a pulse around the 3rd and 4th of September, with combined energy readings hitting 330 (moderate wave energy) and 349 (moderate wave energy), with swell heights around 6 ft to 6 ft from the WNW. But here’s the kicker – the wind is a mess. We’re looking at strong breezes, cross-shore winds, and messy cross-chop. It’s not going to be clean. It’s going to be a washing machine. That setup, with that kind of wind and a beach break, honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than for getting a surfboard out.
Later in the second week, around the 8th of September, we see a little more energy – 523 (strong wave energy) – with a 6 ft swell from the WNW, but again, the wind is cross-shore and lumpy, and the score is still zero. It’s just not coming together.
The water temp is sitting at 66°F with a 2°F anomaly, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing, but there’s nothing to surf.
So, the reality is plain: there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It’s a total bust. Keep an eye on the charts, though – it tends not to stay this poor forever, and forecasts can change. But for now, I’d leave the board in the van.
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.
