The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s not sugarcoat it – the next 16 days are looking pretty flat and messy. There’s a long stretch of nothing worth paddling for, and even the best window is only average.
Starting Wednesday, July 29th, it’s tiny. Swell is 0.3 to 0.6 feet (that’s about 0.1m to 0.2m for you metric folks), with periods under 10 seconds – pure wind slop. The combined energy is weak, mostly in the teens and twenties. Winds are cross, cross-on, or onshore, and the water temp is around 66°F, which is about 2°F above the norm for this time of year, so a bit warmer than usual.
The first real hope comes Tuesday, August 4th, in the morning. Norderney sees a 0.8m (roughly 3 feet) swell from the NNW with a 10-second period, and the combined energy reaches 152 (moderate). That’s the highest we see all forecast. The swell direction is optimal for Norderney, but the wind is cross-on from the NE at 30 km/h (19 mph), so it’s lumpy and messy. If you’re desperate, that’s your window.
After that, it’s back to tiny, short-period, weak waves. From the 5th through the 13th, we’re looking at 0.4m to 0.9m (1 to 3 feet) of swell with periods of 4 to 7 seconds, and combined energy rarely cracking 59. The winds are mostly cross-on or onshore, with the occasional clean cross-off on the 7th of August, but the swell is only 0.2m (0.7 feet) then, so it’s flat.
The second week, from the 8th of August onward, is just more of the same. Small, weak, and choppy. The best of the lot is the 10th of August Monday afternoon with a 0.9m (3 feet) WNW swell and a 6-second period, but it’s cross-on from the NNE at 20 km/h (12 mph). It’s a beach break, so with that short period and cross-on wind, it’s going to be a bumpy, sloppy mess.
Bottom line: there’s no standout here. The 4th of August morning is the only window that even looks like a wave, and even then it’s compromised. The rest is flat or choppy. This is a quiet stretch for the area, so don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
