The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and let's talk about Norderney. Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for us. We're not getting any real quality surf, and most of the time it's going to be blown out or just too weak to bother with.
Right now, it's flat as a pancake. There are a couple of small, weak swells, but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, so it’s not going to be worth your time. We're looking at a long stretch of poor surf with no real standout days. The swell energy is weak, mostly in the low double digits (22-81) for the first week, which just doesn't push enough water our way.
There's a tiny bump in size on Friday the 18th, with the swell getting up to 5ft, but it's coming with strong cross-shore winds and a messy chop. The energy jumps to 257, but that's not going to make it good, just messy. Forget it.
The following week, from the 20th onward, it just fades away. We're back to tiny, weak swell, and the wind stays mostly on it. A couple of mornings might look a little cleaner with the cross-off winds, but the swell is just too small (1ft to 3ft) to give us anything decent. We're talking knee-high dribble at best.
There is one moment on the 30th of September, with a light offshore wind and a clean looking surface, but the swell is still tiny at 1ft. It's "surfable" but very ordinary. Not something to plan your day around.
Basically, this is a two-week stretch where you're better off finding something else to do. The water is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, about 64°F, which is nice, but the surf just isn't there. Hang tight, this one's a write-off.

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.
