Table - best surf conditions forecast for Norderney over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a proper look at what’s on offer for Norderney over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you—it’s a tough run. The forecast is pretty grim for the first week and a half, with only a tiny flicker of something rideable right at the tail end.
The first real chance to paddle out doesn’t come until Friday the 24th of July. That’s a solid 11-day gap from the start of the forecast where the surf is just too small, choppy, or onshore to bother with. We’re talking tiny waves under 2 ft with weak combined energy (as low as 3 to 64), and the wind is mostly cross or cross-on, making a mess of things. Not worth getting wet for.
Now, the standout window. The best option we’ve got lands on Friday morning, the 24th of July. Norderney is a beginner-friendly beach break that’s fairly consistent. On this morning, we’ll see a 4 ft swell from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds. The wind will be offshore from the south at 12 mph, which is a major positive—it’ll keep the waves clean. The combined wave energy is 154 (moderate), so there’s a bit of push. Just keep in mind, the swell direction is from the WNW, and the optimum direction for this spot is NNW, so it’s not a perfect match, but it’s the best we’re going to get. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
That Friday afternoon holds a 4 ft NW swell with clean conditions from a cross-offshore SE breeze, but the energy drops to 100, so it’s a bit weaker.
Following that, Saturday the 25th has some small, clean 2 ft swell, but it’s tiny and the wind is strong at 22 mph, making it more of a kite-surfing setup than a proper paddle session. After that, we’re back to tiny, messy dribble right through to the end of the forecast period on the 28th.
So, to sum it up: if you’ve got a window, the only real shot is Friday morning, July 24th. It’s not pumping, but it’s clean and rideable. For the rest, you’re better off doing something else. Keep your eyes on the charts, though—things can change.
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.
