Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—right now, Norderney is looking like a bit of a flat spell. There’s nothing rideable for the first two weeks of July. The forecast shows poor surf conditions day after day, with strong cross-shore winds and messy chop. That stretch from Monday the 6th right through to Saturday the 18th is a write-off. You’ll see small, weak swell but the wind is just trash, mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the wave energy barely gets into triple digits.
Things start to flicker from Sunday the 19th. The swell picks up a bit—5 ft on Sunday morning, building to 5 ft by afternoon, both from the NW with a period of 7-8 seconds. But the wind is still cross-on or onshore, so it’s lumpy and messy. Wave energy hits 283 by Sunday arvo (moderate), but it’s all still “poor surf conditions.”
The real standout—if you can call it that—is Monday the 20th morning. We finally get a little window: light SSW wind swinging cross-offshore, swell at 4 ft from the NNW, period 8 seconds. That’s clean. That is the best shot in this whole 16-day outlook. Wave energy sits at 149 (moderate), but those light winds mean you might get a few fun, ordinary waves. It’s not pumping, but it’s surfable. Norderney is an exposed beach break, and with a period under 8 seconds, it’ll be a bit soft and lumpy, but it’s the only time the stars align. Crowds? This spot says “sometimes,” so don’t expect solitude but you probably won’t be fighting for waves either.
Tuesday the 21st morning also has light SSW winds, this time true offshore, but the swell drops to 2 ft from the WNW with only 6-second period. Tiny, weak, barely enough to stand up on. Wave energy is just 46 (weak). So keep your expectations in check.
Overall, if you’re hanging for a paddle, Monday 20th morning is your one and only call. The rest is flat or blown out. For an area like this, a blank run isn’t too unusual, but forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope entirely.
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.
