The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's happening at Norderney over the next couple of weeks. Right now, we're looking at a pretty bleak stretch. The models are showing a whole lot of nothing for a long time, with weak, short-period windswell and bumpy conditions. It’s a tough go.
Monday the 25th is a write-off. Tiny swell, strong cross-winds, and choppy faces. Not worth paddling out.
We’ve got a gap of poor conditions stretching from now through the end of the month. There’s no real surf on offer. The energy is just too weak and the wind is all over the place.
Saturday, the 29th of August afternoon sees a bit of a pulse, with a 5 ft swell from the west. The period is short (6 seconds), and the cross-shore wind will make it lumpy. The combined energy is moderate (187), but it’s messy. Not a day to get excited about.
Then from Sunday the 30th through Thursday, 3rd September, we get a run of small, clean conditions but with very weak energy. Winds are mostly cross-off or light, offering clean faces, but the swell is tiny (mostly under 2 ft). There’s no punch.
The one standout appears to be Monday, the 7th of September. This is a long way out, so treat it as promising but far from certain. We’re looking at a building 6 ft to 6 ft swell from the west-northwest with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a moderate period, and the combined energy jumps up to strong (448 on Monday morning and 494 on Monday afternoon). The wind is forecast to be fresh and cross-off, which will keep the faces clean. For Norderney, a NNW swell direction is what we want, and this WNW swell is close enough, but experts will have the best time here as it gets over 5 ft. Beginners, take note; it might be a bit much.
Tuesday, the 8th of September holds some energy with 6 ft swell from the NW and fresh offshore winds. The combined energy is strong (403). Again, this is a session for the experienced crew.
So, the real pick of the litter is Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th of September. Fingers crossed the long-range charts hold. Until then, it’s a waiting game.
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.
