The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. I’ve had a good look at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it’s a pretty grim outlook for the Norderney area. There’s nothing in the 16-day window that’s worth getting excited about. The swell is almost non-existent, and when there is a little bump, the wind tends to wreck it. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, poor conditions.

Let’s walk through it. The first real sign of any energy comes on Thursday, the 10th of September. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the NNW sneaking in, which is the biggest we’ll see for a while, but the wind is a cross-shore from the West at 9 mph. The combined energy is moderate at best (242), but the report still calls it “poor surf conditions.” Friday the 11th drops right back down to nothing, and we go through a long gap of tiny, messy swell with onshore winds all the way through the weekend. There’s a bit of a long-period 13-second groundswell showing up on the 13th, but it’s only 0.3ft from the NW, so forget about it. The wind is cross-shore, but there’s no wave to ride.

The water temperature is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s about the only upside.

There’s a slight pickup around the 17th and 18th of September. On Thursday the 17th, we get a 4ft swell from the NW in the afternoon, with combined energy of 102. That’s the only time we see a three-digit energy figure again, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, making it lumpy and messy. Friday the 18th morning is a bit better with a 3ft NNW swell and a gentle cross-shore breeze at 9 mph, which might clean it up a touch, but the report still says “poor surf conditions.” It’s just not coming together.

After that, the swell fades into nothing again. We’ve got days of flat, blown-out junk from the 20th right through the 23rd, with a near gale-force wind on the 23rd. The only thing that might be happening here is that the stronger winds and consistent swell direction could make this spot more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially with the beach setup.

Bottom line: No surf to speak of. Put the board away and check back in a few days. Forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s a blank run. This is not unusual for the area, so don’t stress.

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.
