The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the Norderney stretch. Gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window is a bit of a heartbreaker. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf starting right from the get-go, with barely a whisper of a wave worth paddling for.
The first few days are a write-off. We’ve got a messy, windy pattern with swell that’s barely there, and when it does show some height, the wind is just ruining it. The first real flicker of hope comes on Thursday, September 4th, but even then, the swell is short period and the wind is cranking. It’s a real shame.
The standout, if you can call it that, is Norderney itself. It’s the only game in town. The water temp is sitting at about 65°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Looking at the Saturday, September 6th session, we have some swell energy, with a combined energy of 698 (moderate), and it builds to 881 (strong) by the afternoon. Swell is 7ft to 8ft from the NW, with a period of 8 to 9 seconds. That’s a decent amount of water, but the wind is a horrendous near-gale, blowing cross-on and cross-shore. It’s going to be a washing machine out there. This is definitely a session for experts only, and even then, it’s more of a survival mission than a fun surf. The set-up is a beach, so with that much wind and swell, it’s looking far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
After that, the surf drops off again. We get a bit of a cleaner window on Monday, September 8th, with a 1ft swell from the NNW and a light offshore wind from the SSW. It’s clean, but the swell is tiny and the period is short at 7 seconds. It’s better than a kick in the teeth, but it’s a long paddle for a small ride.
The rest of the period is a mix of onshore junk and tiny, weak swells. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations. Honestly, for the next two weeks, Norderney is not the place to be for a decent surf. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a flat spell with a few windy, messy bumps in between.
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.
