Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next 16 days for Norderney are looking pretty grim. The problem isn’t a lack of swell, but the wind and conditions. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf conditions ahead, so don’t get your hopes up for anything decent until the very end of the window.
The immediate outlook is a write-off. From Sunday the 5th right through to Friday the 17th of July, it’s a mess. Strong winds from the west and northwest are going to be lashing the coast. We’re talking about Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th of July seeing winds screaming up to 25 mph from the west and west-northwest. There’s some swell around, with combined wave energy hitting 261 (moderate) on Monday afternoon, and 5ft to 6ft of cross-shore junk, but it’s all blown out and choppy. It’s a total write-off for a paddle. Honestly, with that kind of wind and a beach setup, this is more of a kite surfing proposition than a surf session.
The water temperature is sitting at 66°F, which is a full 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a very unusual warm spell, but it’s not going to make the waves any better.
We have a bit of a lull into the second week of July, with swell dropping below 3ft from the 10th to the 14th. The wind does ease up, with some glassy conditions noted on Wednesday the 15th, but the swell is only 2ft with a weak energy of 20. You’d be better off with a longboard or a kayak.
The only real glimmer of hope comes on the Saturday the 18th of July. The morning session is our standout. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the northwest, with a period of 7 seconds, and the wind is turning glassy. The combined energy is a solid 204 (moderate). This is the only window where the stars align for a decent surf. The swell is a bit on the bigger side for beginners, but for the rest of you, it’s the only show in town. The afternoon will see the wind turn cross-on, so get it done early.
After that, the swell hangs around in the 5ft to 6ft range through the 19th and 20th, but the wind comes back onshore or cross-shore, killing the quality again.
So, to sum it up: a long, painful gap of poor surf until the 18th. That Saturday morning is your only real shot. Don’t bother checking the forecast until then.
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.
