The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’ve got for Norderney.
Right off the bat, it’s a slow start. Monday the 14th sees some small 2ft swell from the NNW, but the wind is cross-off and the energy is weak at 37. Not worth paddling out. Monday afternoon gets glassy, but the waves are tiny at 2ft.
Tuesday the 15th is a complete dud. Swell drops to 0.7ft and the wind picks up. Don’t bother.
Wednesday the 16th is messy. The wind is strong from the west, creating a lot of chop. The waves are short-period junk. This looks more like a kite-surfing day.
Thursday the 17th stays windy with small waves. The energy is a bit better, but still not good.
Friday the 18th is where things get big, but ugly. The swell jumps to 6ft in the morning and 7ft in the afternoon, but the wind is near gale force from the west, creating a complete mess. The energy is up to 620, but this is for experts only and it will be a battle. Not recommended.
Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th are still windy with average waves. Not worth it.
Monday the 21st is the best window. We’ve got a 6ft NNW groundswell with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is cross-off. The energy is a solid 481. This is the standout for the whole period. It’s a bit big for beginners, but for experienced surfers, this is the session to aim for. The offshore wind will clean it up nicely.
The rest of the week is a mix of onshore wind and poor conditions.
The best bet is Monday the 21st. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best on offer. Water temp is about average for this time of year, so a 3/2 wetsuit should be fine.
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.
