The Lowdown
Alright, folks, it's Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you. The outlook for the next couple of weeks is about as flat as a pancake. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing but disappointment ahead.
We're looking at Norderney, and to be blunt, the entire 16-day window is a frustrating bust. There's not a single session I'd recommend paddling out for. The wave energy is just pitiful, barely getting a pulse, and the swell is tiny and weak more often than not. You're looking at a massive gap from now through to the end of the month with absolutely nothing worth your time.
Let's walk through it. For the first week, it’s a wasteland. The occasional little bump of swell on the 10th, 12th, and 13th is just messy with poor quality. On the morning of the 11th, we get a clean, fresh offshore wind, but it's blowing over a tiny 1ft wave. It’s flat.
We get a slight uptick in energy on the 17th, with a 5ft swell pushing in from the north, and the combined energy clocks in at 163 (moderate), but the wind is straight onshore, ruining any chance of a decent wave. That same bump is there on the 22nd, with a 4ft north swell and a combined energy of 132 (moderate), but again, it’s a cross-shore mess with rain. The water temp is sitting at about 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Honestly, the only moment that even gets a mention is the very end of the run, on the 23rd. We get a clean, moderate offshore wind and a knee-high 3ft wave again, but the conditions are described as “very ordinary”. Combined energy is a weak 48. It’s still not good.
So there you have it. A total blank period. It’s a bit unusual for the area, but right now, the forecasts are stubborn. We’ll have to hope it changes, because this is grim. For now, keep the board in the bag and the wax in the wrapper.
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.
