Alright folks, Rusty here with the Norderney report. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple weeks are looking pretty flat and messy for traditional surfing. Most of the swell is short-period windswill with winds that won’t let up.

Starting off Saturday afternoon, July 11th, we’ve got a tiny 1ft swell from the north, period around 4 seconds, and the combined energy is barely a whisper. Onshore wind from the NNE at 9 mph is turning it into a wash.

Sunday the 12th, the swell builds to 4ft from the NNW, 7-second periods. The energy gets moderate (113 to 125), but it’s still onshore or cross-onshore wind at 16 mph, so it’ll be chopped and bumpy.

Monday morning the 13th is the first real look: 3ft from the NNW, wind flips to a light cross-offshore from the ESE at just 3 mph. That’s clean. But the swell energy is still low (51), so you’re on a longboard or a foamie. It’s short-lived; the wind cranks back onshore that afternoon.

From Tuesday the 14th all the way through to around Thursday the 23rd, it’s mostly poor to flat. Waves drop to 1ft or less, periods 3 to 6 seconds, and combined energy in the single digits. Winds stay onshore from the ENE to NE at 12 to 16 mph, keeping things lumpy. There’s a few days with zero swell at all (around the 18th and 19th), just wind chop.

Then, on Saturday the 25th, we get a glassy morning – wind drops to 3 mph from the NNW. There’s a tiny 1ft swell from the same direction, 6-second period. It’s flat and clean, but the combined energy is just 6; you’re really just paddling around on a glassy pond. That afternoon, a bigger 4ft swell arrives from the NNW (period 6 seconds, moderate energy at 111), but gets trashed by a cross-onshore wind from the ENE at 16 mph, chopping it up.

Water temp is a touch warmer than usual at 64°F, which is nice, but it’s not enough to save the surf. This stretch is looking more like a kiter’s dream than a surfer’s paradise. I’d pencil in Monday the 13th morning for a small, clean window, or that glassy Saturday morning the 25th if you just want to float. It’s a rough patch, but it won’t last forever.

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.
