The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
Look, the next 16 days for Norderney are a proper write-off. There's no surf on offer for the whole stretch. That's right, from the 13th of August all the way through to the 28th of August, the forecast is consistently showing poor surf conditions. That's a solid 16-day gap with nothing to get excited about.
The swell is tiny for the first week, with heights barely hitting 2ft and periods so short they're just slop. The combined energy is weak, mostly double digits. A few days in the second week, around the 20th, the swell picks up a bit, hitting 6ft, and the combined energy gets up into the moderate range, around 353, but it's all blown out. Winds are howling from the west and northwest at 28 mph, making a mess of things.
The highlight of this whole bleak outlook is the 20th of August. We see a 6ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy is at 353 – that's the most power we see. But that's about it. The wind is a strong cross-off, which would usually be clean, but the report still calls it poor. So, it's a no-go.
There's a bump in energy again on the 27th and 28th, with swell around 5ft to 6ft and energy reaching 417. But the wind is a full-on near-gale from the WNW, just smashing the surface. That's kite-surfing territory, not for a paddle surfer.
So, honestly, save the energy. There's nothing here for us. Forecasts can change, but this run looks proper bleak.
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.
