The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for our local stretch.
Honestly, looking at the next two weeks, it’s a pretty grim picture for paddling into anything decent. The first few days are a write-off. We’re seeing a lot of wind and very little swell. There’s a gap from now until the 6th of September where there’s really nothing to recommend. The wind is howling, mostly cross-off or cross, and the energy is just not there. Even when a bit of swell pops up, the conditions are poor.
The first real flicker of hope comes on the morning of Sunday the 6th of September. We’ll have a tiny 3ft swell rolling in from the WNW, but the magic is in the wind – it’s going glassy, dead calm. The combined energy is weak (48), so it’ll be small and clean, perfect for a beginner log session if you’re just wanting to get wet. The period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s just windswell, not much push.
The following Monday, the 7th, is similar. Another 3ft from the NW, but with a moderate offshore wind from the S. The energy is still weak (50), and the period is a pathetic 5 seconds. It’s surfable, but just barely. Not a standout by any stretch.
If you’re an experienced surfer looking for anything with a bit more power, the afternoon of the 3rd of September might be worth a look. It’s a marginal call, with a 5ft swell from the WNW and a clean offshore wind from the S. The energy is moderate (227), and the period is 7 seconds. It’s the best we get, but it’s still pretty average. The wind is clean, so the face might be okay, but don’t expect any gems.
The second week is a total dud. The wind is onshore, the swell is small, and the energy is pathetic. We’re looking at a lot of cross-on, messy conditions. The 6th of September morning is the only real standout if you’re desperate for a glassy, small day. For anything else, forget it.
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.
