The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Norderney.

Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak 16 days on the horizon. The entire window is filled with either very small surf or messy, wind-blown conditions. There’s no real standout session, but we do see a glimmer of hope right at the very end.

Looking at the whole run, the first several days – from now through to the end of July – are a write-off. You’ve got onshore and cross-onshore winds, mostly from the NW, and the swell is either too small or just too lumpy to get excited about. The water temperature is running much warmer than normal for the time of year at 67°F, which is a pretty big anomaly, but that won’t help the surf.

The 19th of July (Sunday) starts with a 7ft swell from the NNW but it’s howling 25 mph cross-onshore wind, making it an absolute mess. That combined energy is at 559, which is moderate, but it’s all for nothing. The next few days follow the same pattern: small, wind-battered, and frustrating. By the 25th of July (Saturday), the swell drops to tiny 2ft with clean conditions, but there’s no power behind it. That combined energy is only 20.

There’s a real gap of surfable quality from the 19th of July right through to the very end. But then, we get to the 29th of July (Wednesday morning). That’s a single, interesting snapshot. You wake up to a clean, 6ft swell from the NNW with a period of 7 seconds, and importantly, it’s cross-offshore wind from the WSW at 19 mph. The combined energy is 316 (moderate). This could actually be rideable. But it’s a short-lived moment... by the afternoon the wind is back on it, making things messy again.

The rest of the first week of August is small. The morning of the 2nd of August (Sunday) offers a tiny window: 3ft swell with a moderate offshore wind (SSW, 16 mph). The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – that’s the only time the word “surfable” pops up in the whole run. It’s not a standout, but it’s the most promising moment.

So, for the absolute best on offer? It’s a tough call, but I’d say the morning of 29th of July at Norderney. A solid 6ft swell, clean from the cross-offshore wind. It’s not perfect – the period is short at 7 seconds – but it’s the only time the size and wind both line up. The morning of the 2nd of August is the runner-up, but it’s much smaller at 3ft.

Keep an eye on the forecast. This is a long run of poor conditions, so don’t get any big hopes up. 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.
