The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next two weeks around Norderney are a real struggle. We’ve got a long gap of poor surf ahead, so don’t bother checking the cams until the very end of the outlook.

The whole 16-day window starts off flat and messy. From Sunday morning, August 2nd, right through to the morning of Monday, August 17th, it’s a grim run of weak, choppy, and mostly cross-shore conditions. The swell barely gets above 2 ft for the first week, with a tiny 1 ft to 1.0 ft NW windswell mixed with onshore and cross-off breezes. The combined energy sits in the weak range, rarely cracking 30 (like 18, 11, 28 – just sad). The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing special.

Things get a little more interesting around Friday, August 7th, with a jump to 4 ft to 5 ft WNW swell, but the wind is cross and the quality is still poor. The energy climbs to 104 and 188 (moderate), but it’s all messy and lumpy. That kind of height, over 5 ft, could be too much for beginners, but with the chop and cross-shore wind, it’s not really for anyone. The beach break setup here is leaning more toward kite-surfing than proper paddle surfing during that period.

The only real standout – and I mean the one and only chance – is on Monday, August 17th, in the morning. We get a clean window: offshore wind from the south at 9 mph, with a 5 ft west swell at 6 seconds. The combined energy is 125 (moderate), and the conditions are described as “surfable waves but very ordinary.” It’s not firing, but it’s the best on offer by a long shot. The waves will be small, a bit weak due to the short period, but at least clean. If you’re desperate, that’s your window. Crowds are possible at Norderney, so you might have some company.

Overall, the first 15 days are a write-off. Don’t hold your breath. The forecast can change, but right now it’s a tough stretch for the dedicated crew.

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.
