The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a pretty grim stretch ahead for Jugendbad, so I’m just going to tell it straight.
The 16-day outlook is a tough one. There’s no real surf on offer for the first thirteen days. From Tuesday the 18th of August right through to Sunday the 30th of August, it’s a total dud. Every single session is marked as poor surf conditions, with the swell energy either weak or non-existent. The water temperature is coming in at a very unusual 69°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
We finally get a tiny flicker of life on the final day of the month, Monday the 31st of August. The morning shows a little 3ft swell out of the NNW with a period of 7 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the SE at 12 mph. The combined energy is only 86 (weak), and the surf is described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” Honestly, it’s the only moment in the whole window that’s even worth a mention, and it’s barely a ripple. It’s better than nothing if you’re absolutely desperate, but don’t expect much.
After that, the first couple of days of September look like more of the same messy, poor quality stuff. The 1st of September afternoon has a 6ft swell from the W with moderate energy (302), but it’s cross-onshore and choppy – not a good look.
So, to sum it up: we’ve got a long, blank run of thirteen days with no surf to speak of. The only standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Monday the 31st of August. It’s clean with offshore wind, but the swell is tiny and weak. For a beginner, the 3ft is fine, but it’s hardly a session to get excited about. For the rest of the time, you’re better off finding something else to do.
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.
