The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – if you’re looking to paddle out at Norderney over the next 16 days, you’re going to need a whole lot of patience. There’s a big ol’ gap of nothing worth mentioning right from the start. The first couple of days are just a write-off, with tiny, weak waves and messy wind, so we’re looking at a blank run until the 9th of September. Even then, it’s not pretty.
The first real bump in the ocean arrives on Wednesday morning, the 9th, but it’s a total loss. We’ve got a 7ft swell from the NW with a combined energy of (781), but it’s being hammered by a near gale cross-onshore wind. That’s blown-out, stormy slop – only for the insane or the kite surfers. The afternoon cleans up a touch but is still a strong cross-onshore mess. Honestly, the setup here looks far more interesting for a kite than a paddle board.
Thursday the 10th morning is your only real whisper of hope. The swell drops to a clean 3ft from the NNW, with a gentle cross-off breeze. The energy is moderate (143) and the period is a mundane 8 seconds. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The water is sitting at 65°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit, but that’s the only consolation.
After that, it’s a long, sad slide. From the 11th right through to the 22nd of September, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves – mostly under 3ft, with combined energy readings barely cracking 50. The wind swings around, but it’s never really in our favour for any decent, clean ride. There are a few clean morning windows with offshore breezes, but the swell is just too small to make it worthwhile. A couple of longer period swells pop up on the 13th and 14th, but with wave heights of 0.3ft and 0.7ft, they’re just ghost bumps on the horizon.
Bottom line: this is a grim 16-day outlook for Norderney. The only day that even qualifies as “surfable” is Thursday the 10th, and that’s a low bar. If you’re desperate, you might scratch out a few ankle-biters that morning, but otherwise, save your wax and wait for a better forecast.
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.
