The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the Norderney outlook in feet and miles per hour. The water is sitting at about 66°, a hair warmer than normal, but the real story is the wind.
We start with a big gap from Saturday, August 29th, right through the first week. It's all wind and bad weather. Huh, no surf worth mentioning until we get into September. Sunday the 30th, Monday, Tuesday – all trash. Gales, cross-shore chop, rain squalls. On Tuesday, September 1st, you get a little energy but the wind is still wrecking it. A tiny, clean window on Thursday the 3rd morning with a 1ft groundswell, but that's it.
The one standout is Saturday, September 5th, afternoon. The wind swings to the SSW, blowing offshore. That's a game-changer. The swell size jumps to 8ft from the NW with an 8-second period. The wave energy hits 1046 – that's a lot of power. For a beach break like this, the shorter period is actually better; it'll give you steeper, more critter-like walls instead of just running straight. This is expert territory. It's clean, it's big, and it's easily the best day in the whole 16-day window.
Sunday, September 6th, drops right off. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th have some size (6 to 7 feet from the NW) but the wind is cross-onshore, making it lumpy, messy chop. High wave energy, but bad conditions.
Looking into the second week, Friday, September 11th, looks cleaner. Moderate cross-offshore breeze and 4ft to 5ft from the west-northwest. Consistent and manageable.
Saturday, September 12th, has about 7ft of swell from the NW on the back of some good energy (640). If the wind stays light as predicted this far out, it could be the second-best day. Clean and solid.
Sunday the 13th has some size but the wind is questionable.
To sum it up: September 5th is the heavy date for the experienced crew. The 11th and 12th are your best bets for a smaller, cleaner session. The rest is for the kite surfers.
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.
