The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Norderney for the next couple of weeks. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it—this is a tough one. We’re looking at a massive dry spell. From now until Tuesday, September 8th, there’s basically nothing to ride. That’s over a week of flat, weak, or messy conditions. The wind is all over the place, and the waves are tiny. It’s a real bummer.
The only day that shows any promise is Tuesday, September 8th. We finally get a clean offshore breeze from the SSW at about 12 mph. The swell comes in at 5 ft out of the WNW, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 207, so there’s a bit of grunt behind it. The offshore wind will clean the surface right up, making for some decent, user-friendly waves. This is the one to aim for if you’re a beginner or intermediate surfer. The water temp is around 66°F, which is pretty standard for the season.
But it’s a short window. By Wednesday, September 9th, the wind cranks back up to near-gale force from the WSW at 34 mph, and it’s game over again. The rest of the forecast is just more of the same: cross-shore chop, lumpy conditions, or just plain flat. We do see a bigger pulse on Saturday, September 12th—6 ft from the NNW with a 9-second period and a strong energy reading of 575—but it’s coming with a cross-onshore wind that’ll chop it all up. That one’s more for the kite surfers than the paddle crew.
So, bottom line: if you want to get wet, your best bet is Tuesday, September 8th at Norderney. It’s the only real highlight in a long, quiet stretch. The rest of the time, the surf is just not cooperating.
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.
