The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the whole 16-day window is a bit of a dud for Norderney. The forecast shows surf, but it’s all small, messy, and choppy. The combined swell energy barely gets into the moderate range (129) on Tuesday the 4th of August, but even then, the wind is cross-shore and lumpy, ruining any chance of a decent wave. The water temperature is sitting at 66°, which is about 2° warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s not freezing, but you’ll still want a spring suit.
There is no standout session. The whole stretch is a write-off for paddle surfing. The best you could hope for is a few small, weak waves from the NNW around 1.0ft to 1ft, but with onshore or cross-onshore winds almost the entire time, it’s just blown-out slop. From Thursday 30th July right through to Friday 14th August, every single entry is marked as “poor surf conditions.” There’s a brief moment on the morning of Friday 14th August where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is a tiny 2ft from the NW with a short period of 6 seconds, so it’s barely breaking.
Because the swell is so small and the wind is so poor, this setup is honestly more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The wind is consistent and strong enough for a kite, but the waves are too small and weak for a proper surf. It’s a tough run, but for Norderney, this kind of blank spell is pretty normal. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, leave the boards at home.
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.
