The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s shaping up for Norderney over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, straight off the bat, this is a grim outlook. The whole 16-day window is a struggle with no real standouts. For the first week and a half, the winds are mostly cross, cross-off, or cross-on, with gusts that chop everything up. We’ve got a few pulses of swell in there, but the conditions just aren't cooperating for a good paddle session.

The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need the thickest wetsuit, but you will need patience.

The first few days are a write-off. Wednesday and Thursday (2nd and 3rd September) have tiny to messy swell with strong winds – Thursday afternoon sees a spike to 6ft from the WNW but with a short 6-second period and strong cross-shore wind (combined energy of 220). That’s just lumpy and horrible.

Friday (4th) and Saturday (5th September) aren't any better. Saturday actually has the biggest swell of the entire period, with 8ft from the NW and a 9-second period (combined energy of 780-798), but the wind is a strong cross-shore. That kind of size with that wind at a beach setup like Norderney means it’s going to be a washing machine – better suited to kite surfing than a longboard.

Sunday (6th) sees the wind ease off a touch in the afternoon, but the swell drops to only 3ft, and it's a weak, short-period wave. The best window might be Monday the 7th morning, with a glassy offshore wind from the S, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft and 6 seconds (combined energy of 8). You’d need a lot of faith and a big board.

The following weekend, on Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th, we get another pulse of energy. Friday afternoon has a solid 6ft from the NW with an 8-second period (combined energy of 414) and a clean cross-off wind. That's the closest thing to a highlight in the whole forecast, and it’s still only a “poor surf conditions” note. The period is a bit short, so it’ll be a bit crumbly, but at least the wind is right. Saturday morning drops a bit in size and the wind swings onshore.

After that, the second week dries up completely. From the 13th through to the 17th, it’s tiny, weak, and mostly blown out. Avoid the water unless you’re just floating.

So to bottom line it: there are no good surf options in the 16-day window. If you're desperate, the best chance for a ride is Friday the 11th afternoon, when the swell hits 6ft from the NW with a clean cross-off breeze. But honestly, keep your board in the car and don’t expect much. It’s a blank run, and for Norderney, that’s pretty normal in this kind of unsettled pattern.

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.
