The Lowdown
Gutted, folks. I’ve stared at the charts for the next sixteen days and, honestly, it’s a tough stretch for Jugendbad. There are no good surf options in this entire window. The swell direction is just all wrong for this spot – it wants a solid NNW groundswell, and we’re getting short-period, wind-whipped stuff from everywhere else. The energy is weak, and the wind is rarely doing us any favors.
The first week is a write-off. Wednesday and Thursday see a little pulse, but it’s crossed-up and lumpy, with energy readings in the 86 to 406 range. That’s not surf you paddle into, that’s just whitewater. Friday’s a bit cleaner but the swell is tiny. Saturday morning on August 8th looks glassy with a slight breeze, but there’s only 2ft of weak, 7-second swell – barely a ripple. The whole first week is a blank.
We do get a bit of a pulse around the 17th and 18th of August, but it’s still onshore and messy. The strongest energy is 184 on Monday afternoon, but it’s a cross-onshore mess. Tuesday morning has a strong offshore wind, which would make it clean, but the swell is only 3ft. It’s a frustrating tease.
Honestly, the only thing that looks remotely interesting for a wave rider is that Tuesday morning on August 18th – strong offshore breeze, clean conditions, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. For anyone else, this setup with the building wind and chop looks more fun for a kite than a paddle board. The water temp is 69°, which is 5° warmer than normal – that’s quite notable for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re getting skunked.
There’s a long gap with nothing on offer, and honestly, this is more normal for the area. When the swell direction is this consistently wrong, it tends to stay poor for a while. But forecasts can change, and I’ll be keeping an eye on it. For now, maybe give the board a rest.

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.
