The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this 16-day stretch for the Norderney region is a tough one. We're looking at a long, flat spell with almost nothing rideable. The first hopeful sign doesn't actually appear until Sunday the 9th of August, and even then, it’s not for the faint of heart. Before that, it's a whole lot of nothing.
For the first week, from now through early August, there’s just no surf to offer. Swell heights are mostly below 2 ft with weak energy readings, often in the single digits to low 50s. The wind is all over the place, and the comments are all "poor surf conditions." You’d be better off checking the kite gear, because for a paddle surfer, it’s a total bust.
The only real standout in this whole outlook lands on Sunday the 9th of August. By the morning, a big push of swell arrives at Norderney. We’re looking at a solid 8 ft swell from the NNW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined wave energy hits 950, which is seriously strong. Now, here’s the catch: this one is for experts only. That’s big, powerful, and with a strong onshore wind kicking in—strong breeze from the NW, making it messy. It’s a raw, chunky day, not for the beginner or intermediate crew. The water temp is around 65°, which is about a degree warmer than usual for this time of year—nothing too wild.
Monday the 10th drops back down to a more manageable 3 ft from the NNW, but the conditions remain ugly with cross-shore winds and a choppy vibe. The energy drops to 108, moderate at best.
So, the honest truth: if you’re an expert looking for a big, gnarly session on the 9th, that’s the one shot. For everyone else, this is a long, flat wait. Hopefully the charts look better after that.

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.
