The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Norderney.
Honestly, mate, it's a bit of a flat spell for the next 16 days. The whole run is a struggle, and I’m not seeing any proper standouts. The first sniff of anything rideable doesn't turn up until Saturday the 18th, but even then, it's a messy one. The water is sitting at a balmy 67°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so that's a bit of a treat if you're just having a paddle.
The weekend of the 18th and 19th sees the biggest push of energy, with a combined swell energy of 192 to 371 (moderate) from the NNW and NW. The swell is around 4ft to 5ft, but it's being blown out by fresh cross-onshore winds. The period is short, mostly 7 to 9 seconds, so it's a weak, wind-affected mess. It's not really a surfer's wave.
The best bet, if you can call it that, falls on Sunday the 26th. The swell is up to 6ft from the NW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is a solid 344. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore from the NW, which is a massive step up from the fresh breezes we've been dealing with. The water is still warmer than average, so you won't need a thick hood. It's still not a classic, but it's the cleanest the waves will be all period. It's a beginner-friendly size, so it's a good day for working on your pop-up. Keep in mind, Norderney (Germany) can get a few people out, so be prepared for a crowd.
The rest of the period drops off quickly. There's a tiny window of clean conditions on the 24th and 27th, but the swell is tiny, between 2ft and 3ft, with hardly any energy. For the last week of July and into August, the swell is basically non-existent. It's a blank run, and with the wind staying onshore or cross-shore, there's not much to get excited about. For this area, a run of poor conditions is pretty normal.
Signing off, 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.
