Table - best surf conditions forecast for Jugendbad over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days around Jugendbad are a tough watch. The surf forecast is a long stretch of nothing special, with only a couple of fleeting moments that might get you wet. The overall pattern is flat to weak, with most days serving up poor surf conditions. There’s a big gap of poor surf from now until the end of July, so don’t get your hopes up.
The first real chance to paddle out comes on Sunday morning, the 26th of July. We’ve got a weak 3ft swell pushing in from the northwest, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a low 50, so it’s not going to bowl you over. The water is a warm 67°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the southwest, which will keep things clean. It’s surfable, but ordinary. Jugendbad is a fairly consistent beginner spot, and with the crowds only sometimes showing up, it won’t be a total zoo, but don’t expect any quality.
The only real standout in this whole period lands on the morning of Monday, the 27th of July. The swell picks up a touch to 4ft from the northwest, with a 9-second period, and importantly, we get clean offshore winds from the north-northwest. The combined energy is moderate at 174, so there’s a bit more push. This is the best window for a beginner looking for clean, small waves, but it’s still not a proper session.
Everything else is a write-off. Strong winds, cross-shore chop, and tiny swell plague the rest of the fortnight. The surf quality stays poor, with scores of zero right through to the 8th of August. On the 4th of August, the swell bumps up to 6ft from the west, but it’s howling onshore wind, making it a lumpy, choppy mess. That’s more of a kiteboarding setup than a surfing one. The long-range stuff around the 8th of August shows a 4ft northwest swell with clean cross-offshore wind, but it’s a long way out and the energy is still low.
Bottom line: if you’re desperate, the 27th of July morning is your best bet. Otherwise, save the petrol.
Rusty.

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.
