Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a proper look at what’s happening on our shores.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s looking like a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got a long run of days with poor surf conditions, so don’t get your hopes up for any quick fixes.
The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 65°, which is over 4° above average. That’s a notable bit of warmth for the start of the period.
Our first glimpse of anything surfable isn't until late in the run. The early days, from Wednesday afternoon on the 8th of July right through to the start of the week after, are a write-off. We’re talking about a gap of over a week with no real recommendations. The wind is either cross-onshore, onshore, or just too strong, and the swell is too small or too messy. It’s just not happening.
Heading into the second week, things don't improve much. We see a little more push on Sunday the 12th of July, with a 4 ft swell from the NNW, but it’s coupled with that moderate cross-onshore wind and the energy is just moderate (132). It’s not clean, and it’s not good. That pattern of poor conditions and small, choppy surf just keeps rolling through the week.
Finally, around Monday the 20th of July, there’s a tiny flicker of hope. The swell picks up a touch to 3 ft from the NNW, and the wind dies down to a gentle breeze, but it’s still cross-onshore. The energy is still weak (59). It’s the best of a bad bunch, but that’s not saying much. If you’re desperate for a paddle, maybe you can find a close-out wave, but don’t expect anything quality.
After that, the wind picks up again, and the last few days of the forecast just fizzle out into nothing. There’s simply no standout session on offer here. It’s one of those periods where you might as well wax the board for the walk to the beach and just enjoy the sand.
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.
