The Lowdown

Alright, I’m looking at the charts for the next 16 days here at Norderney, and honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch. We’ve got a long gap of poor surf right off the bat, and it’s going to take over a week before anything even remotely ridable shows up.

The water temp is sitting around 66°, which is about 2° warmer than what we’d normally expect for this time of year. That’s a little unusual, but nothing crazy.

From now through to the 8th of September, it’s basically a write-off. The wind is mainly cross or onshore, often fresh to strong, and the swell is small, weak, and short-period. Wave energy is mostly in the low double digits (58 on Tuesday morning, 104 on Tuesday afternoon), with a combined energy value that rarely cracks 200. The only half-decent thing is a brief window on the morning of the 7th with a light SSE offshore wind, but the swell is only 1 ft and almost flat. Not worth paddling out for.

Then from the 9th of September into the second week, things start to look a little more promising. The morning of the 9th is the first real standout. We’ve got a 6 ft swell from the west, with a clean, moderate offshore wind from the SSW. The combined energy jumps to 236, which is still moderate, but the clean conditions should make it surfable. The swell period is short at 6 seconds, so it’s not going to have much push, but it’s the best we’ve seen. That afternoon, the swell picks up to 8 ft from the west, with a 9-second period, but the wind goes cross and the energy is high (901), so it might be a bit messy and only for the more experienced crew.

The 10th of September morning brings another clean window with a 6 ft NW swell, moderate SSW cross-offshore wind, and combined energy of 423. That’s another decent option, but again, the wind is moderate, and the swell period is 8 seconds, so not ideal.

After that, the swell fades fast. From the 11th onward, we’re back to small, weak, onshore slop until the end of the 16-day window. The energy drops to under 100, and the wind turns mostly onshore or cross-onshore.

So, the two best windows are the morning of the 9th and the morning of the 10th. The 9th morning (Norderney) is the pick: 6 ft from the west, clean offshore wind, moderate energy. The 10th morning is also worth a look if you can handle the moderate wind and the shorter period.

If you’re not fussy, the 9th afternoon has a bigger swell (8 ft) and longer period (9 seconds), but the cross wind and high energy make it a bit of a handful. More for the experts.

Overall, it’s a long wait for a couple of short windows. Don’t expect much else until the second week.

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.
