The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for Norderney. The models are showing a real dry spell with no decent surf on the cards across the entire 16-day window. Every single day is flagged as poor surf conditions, so we’re looking at a long gap from now right through to the end of the forecast.
The best we see is a bit of a pulse on Saturday, 18 July and Sunday, 19 July. Saturday morning (18 July) brings a 5ft swell from the NW with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy gets up to 178 (moderate). But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the NW at 19 mph, making it choppy and lumpy. By Saturday afternoon, the swell pushes to 5ft, energy hits 261 (moderate-strong), but with a cross-onshore wind at 22 mph, it’s a messy, blown-out situation. Sunday morning (19 July) holds 4ft from the NNW, period 8 seconds, and energy at 222 (moderate), but again the wind is cross-onshore from the NW at 16 mph. Sunday afternoon looks a bit better with a 4ft swell from the NNW, period 9 seconds, and a clean onshore wind from the north at 12 mph, but the conditions are still rated poor.
For the rest of the period, wave heights drop below 3ft, and the energy levels are weak (mostly under 100). The water temperature is sitting at 67°, which is a massive 4° warmer than usual for mid-July – that’s definitely unusual and feels like a warm bath. The swell direction is mostly from the NNW or NW, which is the optimum direction for Norderney, but it just doesn’t matter with the wind and quality.
Honestly, if you’re a paddle surfer, there’s nothing to get excited about here. The Saturday and Sunday (18-19 July) have the most size, but the wind kills it. For kite surfers, those same days with a fresh cross-onshore breeze and some lumpy swell might offer a bit of fun, but for a regular surfer, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now – it’s flat, choppy, and not worth the drive.
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.
