The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at what's cookin' for Norderney.
For the first week or so, it’s pretty much a flat, blown-out nothing. The first time you’d even think about paddling out is the morning of Sunday, September 6th, and even that is pretty ordinary. The real deal doesn't hit until Tuesday, September 8th.
The first eight days are a bust – strong cross-off and cross-shore winds, tiny waves, and next to no energy. The combined energy readings are mostly in the single digits or low teens, like 0 to 51. That’s barely a ripple. A few pulses of 0.8m to 1.1m show up, but with short periods and messy wind, they’re not worth your time.
The one clear standout is the morning of Tuesday, September 8th. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the NW with a 9-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 719 – that’s a good, solid push. The wind is light from the WSW at only 10 km/h, keeping the surface clean. That’s the session to circle on your calendar. The afternoon is also strong with a 6ft NW swell and the wind swings offshore from the S at 15 km/h, making for a nice, clean face.
Before that, the morning of Sunday the 6th offers a smaller 5ft NW swell with a light WSW breeze, but the period is a short 6 seconds and the energy is only 159 – it’s rideable, but nothing special.
For the rest of the forecast, it's back to small, wind-affected junk and strong breezes, including a near-gale 50 km/h blast from the SSW on Saturday the 12th.
For beginners, the Tuesday swell at 7ft is a bit big. The Sunday morning is a better bet. For experienced surfers, Tuesday is where the power and clean lines are at.
It’s a long wait, but there’s a little gem in there.
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.
