The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
First things first, I can’t find a single solid surf option in the next 16 days for Norderney. The whole run is a flat spell, with a few moments of half-hearted swell that just don’t line up. It’s a tough stretch. The good news is that breaks like this usually bounce back, so don’t lose hope – forecasts can change.
Right now, Monday afternoon, 10 August, we’ve got a tiny 3ft swell from the NNW, but it’s a short, weak 4-second period with only 35 combined energy. The wind is howling from the NNW at 19 mph, making it a lumpy cross-on mess. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 68°F.
Tuesday morning, 11 August, the swell bumps up to 4ft with a better 8-second period and 187 combined energy, but it’s still cross-on from the NNW at 16 mph, leaving it choppy and ugly. That same pattern holds through the afternoon.
Wednesday, 12 August, drops off fast. The morning sees a tiny 2ft swell with 43 energy and a light cross-shore from the east at 6 mph, but it’s still poor. The afternoon gets worse – 2ft and 31 energy.
Thursday, 13 August, is a joke. Swell sinks to 0.9ft then 0.6ft, with nothing to ride. Into the weekend, 15 and 16 August, we get a little bump: 2ft to 3ft on Sunday afternoon, but with weak 5-6 second periods and cross-on winds, it’s just messy.
The next week doesn’t get any better. Monday 17 August has a 4ft swell with 206 energy and 8-second period, but again, fresh cross-on NNW winds at 19 mph blow it out. There’s a glimmer on Friday 21 August – a 8ft NW swell with 9-second period and very strong combined energy of 1177 in the morning, then 1403 in the afternoon. That’s a lot of water moving, but it’s too big for beginners and the wind is onshore or cross-on, so the quality is poor. It’s a powerful, messy groundswell that would be better suited to a point or reef, but here at Norderney it’s a beach setup – maybe more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers.
Saturday 22 August shows a brief clean-up with a 5ft NNW swell, 8-second period, 291 energy, and a light cross-offshore wind from the WSW at 9 mph. That’s the only moment in the whole outlook that’s borderline, but it’s still only rated as marginal. After that, it’s back to tiny, weak, and flat until the end of the period.
No standouts here. The best you can hope for is that Saturday 22 August morning session, but don’t bet the farm on it.
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.
