The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what we’ve got on the radar for Norderney.
To be honest, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. The wind is almost always on it, and the wave quality is just not there. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions from the 15th right through the 24th of July. The swell is mostly small and weak, with combined energy values often in the single digits or low double digits, and the wind is a constant cross or cross-onshore mess. There’s nothing worth getting excited about in that first week and a half.
The only real glimmer of hope, and I mean the only one, lands on the morning of Wednesday, July 29th. The forecast shows a clean window with a cross-offshore breeze from the WSW blowing at 9 mph. Combine that with a 5 ft swell from the NW with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy gets up to 208 (moderate). The water temp is sitting at 65° (a touch warmer than normal for this time of year). For that morning, the conditions are described as clean, which is a massive improvement over everything else. That’s your best bet, but it’s a narrow window because the wind swings back onshore that afternoon. For a beginner-friendly break, that morning could give you some fun, clean walls, but don’t expect any barrels.
Before that, the biggest swell we see is on Saturday the 18th, with a 7 ft swell from the NNW, but it’s accompanied by a 25 mph cross-onshore wind. That’s a messy, lumpy setup that’s really only interesting for the kite surfers, not for us wave riders.
So, to sum it up: the 29th stands out as the only day worth paddling out in the whole 16-day window. The rest of the time, you’re better off tuning the board or enjoying a coffee.
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.
