Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for Norderney over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a flat spell out there to start, and for a good stretch after that, we’re not looking at much to get excited about.
We kick off on Sunday, the 5th of July, and honestly, there’s nothing to recommend. The water is sitting at 65°F – running 5°F warmer than the normal for this time of year – but it won't help the waves. That first proper window of surf potential doesn’t show up until much later.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Saturday, the 18th of July. We’ve got a bit of a lully run-up before that, with almost a week of tiny, blown-out junk from the 9th through the 17th. That Saturday morning though, the wind turns cross-offshore and tidies things up, offering a clean face on a swell of 4ft from the W. The wind is fresh at 19 mph, so it won’t be glassy, but it’s workable. Energy is still low at (54).
The standout to circle on your calendar is Sunday, the 19th of July, in the morning at Norderney. This is the one. A nice 5ft NW groundswell rolls in with an 8-second period, and the wind is light and cross-offshore – just 6 mph from the SW. That combination gives us genuinely clean lines. The combined swell energy jumps to (204), so there’s some proper push behind it. The conditions are set to be solid for a fun, cruisy session. Crowds are possible here, but with this being the best wave on offer for the whole run, expect a few locals out.
That clean spell is short-lived. By Sunday afternoon the wind swings onshore and starts chopping it up, and the sessions that follow on into the 20th are a mix of rain, lumpy wind, and generally poor surf.
The second week really dries up after that Sunday morning. It’s small, weak, and mostly messy with strong cross-shore winds. Nothing else in the window holds a candle to that Sunday session.
So, in summary: ride the flat spell out, then aim for the morning of Sunday, 19th July. It’s the only time the stars align for a decent paddle. Until then, it’s a waiting game.
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.
