The Lowdown
Alright, let's have a look at this forecast, and I'll say it straight: we've got a pretty bleak stretch coming up. For the next week or so, we're looking at gutless, weak surf that's barely going to be worth the walk down the beach. The swell energy is just pitiful, with most days showing readings in the single digits to low hundreds. We're talking about knee-high slop with short periods, the kind of stuff that's only good for a paddle if you're desperate. The wind has been all over the place, but with waves this small, it's all a bit moot.
The first real pulse of something bigger shows up on the 20th of September. We're looking at swell heights around 5 feet, with the energy jumping up, but the wind is onshore and it’s going to be messy. The 21st sees a bit more size, around 5 to 6 feet, but it's still blowing a fresh breeze, which is going to chop it all to pieces. This is where I'd start thinking about the kite gear rather than the surfboard. For the days after that, the swell backs off and we're back to small, poor conditions again. It's a frustrating outlook, to be honest. There's just no window where the swell and the wind line up to give us a clean, surfable wave. We'll have to wait for the next one.

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.
