The Lowdown
Right, I’ve had a look at the charts for Jugendbad and, to be honest, mate, it’s a tough one. There’s a real dry spell here, and the forecast is basically a write-off for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a long stretch with nothing worth paddling out for.
The first chance for anything resembling a surf comes on Monday the 31st of August. It’s not much to write home about. You’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the northwest with a period of 9 seconds, so the energy is weak (75). The wind is light and offshore though, so it’ll be clean. But let’s be honest, it’s only a 1 out of 10 on the quality scale. It’s surfable but very ordinary.
The real story here is the wind. For days on end, it’s howling from the west and northwest. Look at the 1st of September: a 6ft to 5ft NNW swell, moderate energy (347), but it’s getting smashed by a fresh cross-onshore wind. The surf is lumpy and messy. That pattern just keeps going.
Then on the 2nd of September, we get the biggest swell of the period. Wednesday morning sees a 7ft NW groundswell with an 8-second period. The combined energy jumps up to 481. But again, the wind is a cross-shore mess from the southwest, then swinging to a fresh cross-onshore later. It’s a real shame – there’s some power in the water, but the conditions are just poor. This kind of setup, with significant swell and strong side-shore winds, looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle surf.
The water is about a touch warmer than normal for the time of year at 68°.
For the rest of the forecast, it’s flat or blown out. You’ve got a few days of tiny, weak swells and howling winds. A few mornings show offshore winds, but with next to no swell. It’s a blank run for sure, but that’s not unusual for the area when the wind is wrong. We just have to hope the forecasts change.

Information about the Jugendbad Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Jugendbad provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Jugendbad can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Jugendbad 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 (Jugendbad) 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 Jugendbad 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.
