The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's happening at Jugendbad for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. The window for anything rideable is real narrow, and even then, we're not talking about anything firing. The water temp is a warm 70°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels more like a swimming pool.
The first real sign of life comes on Wednesday morning the 12th. We get a small bump of 2ft from the NNW, with a short 8-second period. The combined swell energy is weak, just reading 58. Winds are light and cross-offshore from the ESE, so the surface will be clean. It's small, weak waves – surfable for a learner, but nothing to get excited about.
After that, things fall off a cliff. From Thursday the 13th all the way through to Sunday the 16th, it's tiny or flat. A little 3ft pulse rolls in on Sunday the 16th, but it's got onshore wind and a short period. It'll be bumpy and messy. Then on Monday the 17th, we see a similar 3ft NNW swell with a 7-second period and light cross-onshore wind. Energy is still low at 85, and the conditions are poor.
From there, we hit a real dry spell. We get a few glassy days around the 22nd and 23rd, but there's absolutely no swell to ride. Perfect condition for a flat ocean. The last little flicker of life is on Monday the 24th with a 2ft swell from the W and a clean cross-offshore wind, but it's barely a ripple.
For the whole outlook, there's nothing that stands out as "good." It's a run of small, weak, and often messy surf. For beginners, none of the swells get close to 5ft, so the conditions are safe enough, but just not worth paddling out for. The only real positive is the glassy flat spell at the end of August, but that's for a swim, not a surf.
If you're desperate for a paddle, Wednesday morning the 12th is your best bet for the cleanest little waves, but keep expectations real low.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
