Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
Truth be told, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for Norderney. We’ve got a long, dry spell with hardly any surf worth paddling out for. The first surfable day doesn’t show up until Saturday the 18th, and even then it’s a short-lived window. After that, the wind messes things up again, and we’re looking at a few more days of poor conditions before a possible clean-up late in the window.
That first glimmer of hope comes on Saturday morning, 18th July. The wind goes glassy – dead calm – and the swell bumps up to 4 ft from the N, with a short period of 6 seconds. The energy is still weak though, sitting at just 101 (moderate wave energy). It’s a beginner-friendly size, but the short period means the waves will be a bit soft. By the afternoon, it’s still glassy, with the swell nudging up to 5 ft from the NNW and period holding at 6 seconds. Energy picks up a bit to 135 (moderate). This is the best we get in the whole 16 days – a couple of sessions on Saturday with clean, small waves. Get out there if you can, because it doesn’t last.
Sunday the 19th sees the swell jump to 6 ft from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds and energy up to 432 (strong wave energy), but the wind swings onshore and choppy, ruining the quality. That’s a no-go for paddling – looks more like a kite day.
The next decent chance shows up on Thursday morning, 23rd July. The swell is 5 ft from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds and energy at 302 (strong wave energy), but the wind is offshore and clean. It’s a solid, clean wave, but it’s far out and less certain. Worth keeping an eye on.
The water temperature is running a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, at 65°F, which is about 3°F above average – a nice little bonus for the Saturday session.
Honestly, if you’re after a paddle, your window is Saturday the 18th. The rest is either blown out, too small, or too far out to bank on. For the local crew, that Saturday morning glass-off is your moment.
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.
