The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, same story but in feet and miles per hour for you.
To be blunt, the next 16 days at Norderney are a total bust for surf. Every single session in the forecast is marked as poor, and I can’t find a single good wave to recommend. That’s a long, empty run.
Kicking off on Thursday the 3rd, there’s a tiny 1ft swell from the NNW with a 12-second period, but a strong 25 mph WSW wind is ruining it. The energy is weak (32). Thursday afternoon sees the swell jump to 6ft from the WNW, but the period drops to just 7 seconds and the cross-wind is still 25 mph. The energy gets moderate (278), but it’s messy cross-chop.
Friday the 4th is more of the same: 5ft to 6ft swells with short 6 to 7-second periods, and strong 28 mph winds. The energy is moderate (187 to 253), but it’s all wind-affected. Saturday the 5th brings 6ft swell from the NW, 8-second period, and strong 25 mph cross-winds. The energy is strong (475), but it’s still cross-shore chop – better for kites than surfboards.
Sunday the 6th has a 3ft swell in the morning with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the energy is weak (147) and the waves are poor. Monday the 7th offers clean 0.7ft conditions with offshore wind, but there’s nothing to ride.
Into the second week, it doesn’t improve. Tuesday the 8th has 5ft to 6ft swells, but strong cross-off winds. By Wednesday the 9th, the swell hits 7ft to 7ft from the WNW and NW, with a 9-second period and strong to near-gale cross-winds. Energy is very strong (617 to 711), but it’s blown out and messy – only for experts, and even then it’s not good.
The rest of the window fades into tiny, weak swells – 0.7ft to 3ft – with some clean moments but no real waves. The 16th has a long-period 16-second groundswell from the NNW, but it’s only 0.7ft with negligible energy (33). Too small to ride.
So, nothing doing for the full 16 days. This area can go quiet like this. Keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, it’s a no-go.
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.
