The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a bit of a grim stretch for the foreseeable future. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but the first week and a half is looking rough. For the first nine days, from Sunday the 30th of August right through to the 7th of September, the surf quality is consistently poor. Winds are strong, mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the swell is either too small or too messy to get any excitement from.
The only real glimmer comes in the second week. On Monday the 14th of September, things finally start to look a little bit human. The morning offers the best we’ve got. At Norderney, the swell is a modest 3 ft out of the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is weak, but the wind is a gentle offshore from the SSW, making for clean conditions. It’s not a classic day, but it’s surfable, and after such a long blank run, that’s something to be thankful for. The water temp is around 65°, which is about normal for this time of year. The wind is light, so it’s a good chance for a beginner to get a few easy waves.
The crowd situation at Norderney can be busy sometimes, so keep an eye on that if you head out. There’s nothing else on the horizon that’s worth chasing. This is a waiting game, I’m afraid.
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.
