The Lowdown

Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s talk about what the North Sea’s got lined up for the next couple of weeks. It’s a slow start, no two ways about it, but there’s a little gem hiding in there for the patient.

We don’t see anything rideable until Thursday, September 3rd. Before that, it’s flat as a pancake. A few days of weak, short-period windswell that’s barely a ripple, and a couple of days with absolutely nothing at all. That’s just how this coast goes sometimes when the weather sets in.

So, the first real option is Norderney on Thursday morning, September 3rd. It’s marginal, to be honest – a clean 5ft swell from the WNW, but the power is just moderate (257). You’ll be working for ‘em. But then, Thursday afternoon is the one. The wind goes glassy – a slight air, barely 3 mph. That’s gold dust here. You’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the WNW, and the energy jumps to a solid moderate (376). That’s your window. Crowds are a possibility, but with conditions that clean, it’s worth it.

Don’t get excited about Friday the 4th or Saturday the 5th. Cross-shore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions ruin a 5ft swell. Just messy.

The next big one, for experts only, hits on Tuesday, September 8th. A proper long-period groundswell from the NW, pushing a massive 10ft at 12 seconds. The wave energy is strong, very strong (2744-2824). But here’s the thing: it’s predicted to be too big for this spot. The winds are cross-shore to cross-onshore, making it a chaotic, choppy mess. This is for nuts only. For everyone else, it’ll look better for kite-surfing than paddling.

Wednesday the 9th cleans up with a 4ft swell from the NNW and clean, cross-off winds. Nice, but it’s no match for that Thursday glass-off. Thursday afternoon remains the absolute pick of the whole forecast.

The water temp is about average for this time of year, so you’ll want a full suit.

Stay patient, and I’ll see you out there.

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.
