The Lowdown

Right, Rusty here again, and I’m telling it like it is – this 16-day forecast is a total bummer for this stretch of coast. We’re looking at a real flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for. Most of the time, the swell is tiny and the wind is just ruining whatever bump there is.

The first time we see any surf to talk about is on Wednesday, July 29th, at Norderney. We get a knee-high 0.5m swell from the NNW with a period around 10 seconds. It’s clean in the morning with a light cross-off breeze. The combined energy is weak at 54. It’s something a beginner could mess around on, but it’s nothing special.

The water temperature is about normal for this time of year.

After that, it’s a long, dry spell. From Thursday, July 30th, right through to Friday, August 7th, the swell is mostly 0.3m to 0.5m, with constant cross-on or onshore wind making a mess. Even when it goes glassy on the morning of August 7th, the swell is still only 0.7m with a short 6-second period and combined energy of 31. Not enough grunt to do anything.

The biggest wave of the whole run shows up on the afternoon of August 7th – a 1.4m swell from the NW with a combined energy of 110 (moderate). But it’s only a 6-second period, so it’s going to be a short-period wind-swell mess, and the wind is a moderate cross-shore. It’s a write-off for surfing. That set-up screams kite surfing, not paddle surfing.

Into the second week, it’s the same old story. Nothing stands out. No salvaging this forecast. Stick to the skatepark.
Rusty out.

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.
