The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer at Jugendbad. I’ve got to be straight with you – there’s a long, quiet stretch ahead before we see anything that’s really worth paddling out for.
The first six days of the forecast are a write-off, honestly. From the 5th right through to the morning of the 10th, the conditions are just ugly. Strong winds, messy cross-chop, and rain showers make for a real battle. The swell that shows up on the 5th is a messy 8ft from the WNW with a short period, and it’s just blown out. Not worth a look.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Thursday the 10th. There’s a solid 8ft swell from the WNW, but the period is still short at 9 seconds. The combined energy is a strong 1101, but the wind is howling cross-shore at 19 mph, leaving it lumpy. It’s a marginal call at best, and only for the experienced crew. The afternoon gets worse.
Then we hit another gap. From the 11th through to the 17th, it’s a mix of onshore winds, tiny swells, and poor conditions. The 15th afternoon gets glassy, but with a 1.0ft wave, you’re just floating. That’s a solid week of nothing.
The standout of the whole outlook, and the only one I’d really get excited about, is the morning of the 18th. This is a Friday, over a week and a half away. We’ve got a 7ft swell from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a strong 601. The wind is onshore, which is a shame, but the swell size and direction are the best we’ve seen. This is a big, powerful swell for Jugendbad, and the NNW direction is what the spot likes. It’s going to be a heavy, walled-up wave. If you’re an expert, mark your calendar. For everyone else, this is too big and the wind will be messy.
The afternoon of the 18th holds similar size at 8ft, but the wind stays onshore. The 19th drops off in size and the wind swings cross-on, making it choppy.
So, the takeaway? It’s a long wait. The first real, noteworthy surf is the 18th of September. It’s a big, powerful swell, but it’s not clean. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or both. Hang in there, and check back closer to the date.
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.
