The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Norderney's got cookin' over the next couple of weeks.
To be brutally honest, it's a tough run ahead. The first solid week and a half is looking pretty grim. We're looking at a real flat spell with very little energy to get excited about. There's a bit of a pulse showing up around the 4th of August, with a moderate combined swell energy of 119, but the wind is gonna be a mess, making it a write-off for quality surfing. The water is currently sitting at 65°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing if you're out there.
The first real chance of anything decent doesn't come until the 8th of August. Saturday morning the 8th is about the only standout in this whole outlook. The swell is building from the NW at 4 ft, with a combined energy of 97, suggesting moderate wave energy. The wind is a clean, cross-off from the SW at 19 mph, which should keep the face of the waves reasonably tidy. It's not a huge swell, but it's the best we've got, and it comes from the NNW direction which is the optimum for Norderney. The afternoon looks even better on paper, with the swell picking up to 5 ft and energy jumping to 163, and the wind staying clean cross-off. If you want a wave, this is your window. It's a fairly consistent spot, so there should be a few to pick from.
The rest of the run is a washout. The 6th of August morning has a tiny bit of energy with a clean offshore wind, but the swell is only 2 ft. It's surfable, but barely. For the most part, the wind is howling onshore or cross-shore, and the swell is either too small or too messy. At a beach break like Norderney, with this much wind and poor quality, it's probably more interesting for the kite surfers than the paddle crew.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on that 8th.
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.
