The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. This is the outlook for Norderney from the start of August and it’s a bit of a tough one to be honest.
The whole stretch ahead starts off pretty flat and, for the most part, pretty poor. We’ve got days of small, weak swell that just doesn’t have any push or form to it. The water temperature is sitting at about 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a small win at least.
We're looking at a long, frustrating gap with no real surf on offer for the first week or so. The swell stays tiny, in that 1ft to 2ft range, and while the wind is sometimes offshore and clean, it’s just not enough to get anything going. There are a few mornings with light winds and clean conditions, but the swell is just gutless. The wave energy is weak, way down in the single digits and low teens, and that tells the real story. It’s not worth getting your hopes up for any of these days.
Around the 10th and 11th, we see a slight bump in size, but it’s still nothing special, and the winds are mostly cross-shore or onshore, keeping things choppy. Then the 12th rolls around, and it just completely flatlines. Zero energy. That's a couple of days there where you might as well leave the board at home.
Now, here’s the thing. The 14th of August is the only day that really catches the eye. There’s a jump in the swell, up to around 5ft, and the period stretches out to 8 seconds. It’s still not a long-period groundswell, but it’s the best we’re going to see. The combined wave energy jumps up into the moderate range, hitting 248 on the 14th morning, which is a whole different ball game compared to what we’ve had. The morning wind is looking strong offshore from the WSW, which should hold things open and make it pretty clean. This is the standout, and honestly, the only real window of interest in this whole forecast. It’s looking like a Saturday morning session with the best combo of size and clean conditions. After that, it backs right off again.
So to sum it all up: For the next two weeks, the surf is mostly flat or junk. The 14th of August is the one to circle on the calendar – a promising bump in swell with offshore wind, but don’t book the day off work just yet. Long-range forecasts can change.

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.
