The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, and I'm not gonna sugarcoat it—this stretch from August 15th through the 30th is a total dud for Jugendbad. Every single session comes up as poor surf, with no scores to speak of. The swell is tiny, the wind is almost always a mess, and the wave energy is weak. It's a long, quiet period, so don't get your hopes up.
Starting Saturday the 15th, the swell is under 3 feet, with periods mostly 4 to 7 seconds—short-period, gutless stuff. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore from the north, northwest, or west, and it's often a moderate to fresh breeze, making the surface choppy and lumpy. The combined energy is low, mostly in the double digits, only briefly hitting 155 and 200 on Tuesday and Wednesday, but with strong, messy winds. Water temp is about average for the season.
The second week is no better. From the 22nd onward, it's more tiny swell, poor to moderate winds, and even when it gets glassy on the 26th, the swell is barely 2 feet. The combined energy drops to as low as 3. That morning on the 27th has offshore wind and clean conditions, but the swell is a pathetic 0.6 feet. You're not going anywhere.
Bottom line: this is a dead run for the area. It happens sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now, there's nothing to ride. Hang your wetsuit up for a while.
Rusty.

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.
