The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with a look at Norderney. Gotta be straight with you: the start of this forecast window is a total dud. We’re looking at a long stretch with nothing worth paddling for until Sunday, September 6th. From now through Saturday the 5th, the wind is just relentless – 25 to 28 mph cross-shore and cross-off stuff, turning what little swell there is into a lumpy, choppy mess. Not worth getting wet for.
Finally, on Sunday the 6th, we get a break. Morning brings a small 1ft NNW swell with a cross-off breeze around 12 mph, keeping the surface clean. The combined energy is moderate at 235. The afternoon is even better: glassy conditions with a light 3 mph wind from the WNW. The swell drops to 0.9ft from the NNW, period at 8 seconds. Energy is low (103), but it’s clean and glassy – the first proper surfable window. The water is sitting at 66°, which is about 2° warmer than average for this time of year.
Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th drop back into the gutter with tiny swell and onshore breezes. The rest of the week stays frustrating until...
The real standout is Tuesday, September 15th. This is the one. In the morning, the wind goes offshore from the south at 6 mph, then drops to glassy calm in the afternoon. Swell hits 8ft to 8ft from the WNW, with a period of 9 to 10 seconds – proper groundswell. The energy numbers are huge: 864 in the morning, spiking to 1092 in the afternoon. This is excellent, powerful surf. Anything over 8ft is expert-only, so be warned. The offshore morning will be a treat, but the afternoon glass is as good as it gets. The longer period means the sets will have some real push, and the waves will hold shape better – just keep in mind that at a beach break, that long period can make the walls a bit straight. Put this one on the calendar for the experienced crew.
To wrap it up: Saturday the 5th is messy and blown out. Sunday the 6th is a tiny, clean teaser. Tuesday the 15th is the real deal – a true standout. Until then, the sand stays dry.
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.
