The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Jugendbad. I’ll be straight with you – this isn’t a week for the quiver. We’ve got a long, drawn-out stretch of poor conditions to work through before we even see a glimmer of hope.
The forecast kicks off Tuesday the 21st and through the whole first week, it’s a write-off. We’re looking at a solid 10 days where the surf is just not worth the paddle. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, mixed with strong onshore winds from the NW and W. The water is a notable 68°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, a fair bit of warmth in the lake, but the waves are choppy and messy.
We do see a pulse of swell on the 29th of July, with wave heights hitting 7 ft from the NW. That’s a legitimate size, 7 ft, with a period of 8 seconds and the combined energy is strong (634). But the wind is a strong cross-onshore, smashing it up. For a beach break like Jugendbad, this setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It’s too big for beginners and just messy for everyone else.
The real standout, and the only one worth noting, shows up right at the end. On the 1st of August, Saturday morning, we get a small, clean window. The swell is a modest 4 ft from the NNW, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (118). However, the wind is light and cross-offshore from the E, keeping it clean. The water is still that warm 68°F. It’s not a classic, but after so long with nothing, it’s the best we’ve got. The crowds are sometimes a thing here, so you might see a few others out. It’s a very ordinary, surfable wave, but clean conditions make it the pick of a very poor bunch.
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.
