The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a long dry spell with hardly any swell to speak of. From now right through until the morning of Sunday, August 9th, the surf is tiny and the conditions are just not there. You’d be wasting your time. Don’t bother.
Then, things finally get interesting. On the morning of Sunday, August 9th, we get a pulse of energy. The swell bumps up to a solid 7 ft out of the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here jumps to 599 (moderate), and the wind is clean, coming cross-off from the SW. That’s the first real chance we’ve had, and it’s a proper injection of size. It’s a bit of a beast for the groms – over 5 ft, so it’s not beginner territory. The afternoon gets messy with a strong cross-shore, so the morning session is the window.
Now, the true standout of the whole forecast is Monday, August 10th. The early morning has a 6 ft swell from the NW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is 344 (moderate). The wind is cross-off from the SSW at 22 mph, which should keep the surface clean. This is the best we’re going to get. The wind is offshore, the waves have some punch, and it’s the most promising session in the entire outlook. The afternoon blows out with a strong cross-shore, so get out there early.
Tuesday, August 11th morning also has some size, with 6 ft from the NNW and a longer 10-second period, giving it a bit more shape. The combined energy is 588 (moderate) and the wind is cross-off again. It’s a solid option, but the wind is fresh, so it’s not as clean as Monday. The afternoon is a write-off again.
Overall, the best bet is the morning of Monday, August 10th. It’s the cleanest, the most surfable, and the one to circle on the calendar. The rest of the second week has a few pulses of size, but the wind is a problem. Keep the expectations in check until then.
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.
