The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Norderney over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for decent waves. There’s a long gap with no real surf on offer, and the few days that do have a bump in size are completely ruined by the wind. We’re looking at a big blank stretch from now all the way through to the 6th of August, with nothing but tiny, weak, or blown-out conditions.
The water temp is sitting at 65°F right now, which is about 2°F warmer than average for this time of year – a bit of a warm anomaly, but nothing too wild.
Now, onto the only real event on the charts. Around Thursday, the 6th of August, the swell starts to build. We see a jump in the water, with the combined energy hitting 193 (moderate) by Thursday morning, with a 5ft swell from the W. But here’s the kicker – the wind is cross-off early, which is clean, but it’s pouring rain. By Thursday afternoon, the wind swings to a howling WNW at 22 mph, with the swell up to 6ft and the energy at 274 (strong). That’s a raw, lumpy, onshore mess. This is a beach setup, and with that much wind and size, it’s looking more like a kite-foiling session than a paddle surf day.
Friday the 7th of August might be the best of a bad bunch. The morning shows a solid 6ft swell from the NNW with a period of 9 seconds, and a combined energy of 411 (strong). The wind is a gentle cross-shore from the WNW at 9 mph, giving us a slight cross-chop but manageable. This is the one true standout. The size is over 5ft, so it’s not for beginners, and the period is moderate, so it won’t be overly straight. The crowds are listed as “sometimes”, so there might be a few lads out, but it’s worth a look. That afternoon the wind goes onshore, so the window is tight.
After that, the swell drops back off into the dirt by the 8th, and we’re back to tiny, weak, or clean but flat conditions for the rest of the run. The 11th and 12th of August have a bit of size but with near-gale-force winds. It’s not happening.
So, bottom line: if you’ve got a board and a kite, Thursday might be your day. For a paddle, you’re looking at the morning of Friday the 7th of August at Norderney (Germany) – get there early.
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.
