The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. We're looking at a pretty quiet stretch for Norderney over the next couple of weeks. There's a real gap at the start with nothing worth paddling out for, so don't rush down there just yet.
The first hint of anything rideable shows up on Sunday afternoon, the 6th. It's nothing to write home about, with weak 3ft swell from the NNW at a short 8 seconds, but the wind goes glassy from the South. That'll make the surface buttery smooth, even if the waves are small and ordinary. The combined energy is weak at 82, so it's a longboard or a foiler kind of session, not a proper surfer's session.
Monday the 7th sees a drop-off, with tiny 1.0ft swell and onshore winds developing. The following days get blown out by strong winds – Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th see gusts up to 28 mph from the WSW, whipping up a messy, choppy ocean. Combined energy jumps to 402 on Wednesday afternoon, but with those winds, it's a write-off for a paddle board.
We get a tiny window on Saturday morning, the 12th. Clean 3ft swell from the NW, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW. The energy is still low at 88, but conditions will be clean. The water is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The second week is pretty grim. Monday the 14th through the rest of the period has tiny to flat surf, with wave heights mostly below 2ft. There's a long-period (15 seconds) swell on Tuesday the 15th and Monday the 21st, but it's only 0.7ft – totally flat. With consistent winds and poor surf, this stretch looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly. It's a long, slow run with no real standouts.
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.
