The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak, and messy conditions ahead, so you’ll need to keep your expectations real low.
For the first few days, it’s a write-off. From Sunday the 9th right through to the 13th, we’re looking at waves barely cracking 1 ft with combined swell energy mostly under 10 (7). The wind is all over the place, mostly onshore or cross-shore, making for bumpy, poor surf. There’s just nothing to get excited about.
The action doesn’t really start to pick up until Tuesday the 11th of August, but even then it’s a tough sell. Norderney (Norderney) will see a pulse of 4 ft swell from the NNW late morning, with combined energy hitting a moderate 207. The period is short at 8 seconds, and with a moderate cross-onshore breeze it’s going to be choppy. This is still labeled "poor surf conditions," but it’s the most size we see for a while. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
Later in the week, on Sunday the 16th, we get another nudge. The morning shows 4 ft from the NNW with a period of 7 seconds and energy at 132, but again it’s onshore wind from the north, making it messy. The afternoon is similar with 4 ft and energy at 131. This is all still labeled as poor, but if you’re desperate, there might be a few lumpy, closeout waves for experienced surfers only.
Looking further out, the pattern doesn’t improve much. There’s a gap from the 18th to the 24th with tiny swell and strong cross-shore winds, making it look more like a kite-surfing session than a paddle session. The combined energy values during this period are mostly in the weak range, often below 20. The best of the worst might be the 21st of August, with 3 ft from the WNW and energy at 77, but again, onshore wind and poor quality.
Honestly, the standout here is Tuesday the 11th for a bit of size, but don't expect perfection. The rest of the window is a real struggle. Hang in there, the forecasts can change.
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.
