Alright, let’s take a look at what we’ve got coming up for Jugendbad.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a rough start. The first solid recommendation doesn’t come until Sunday the 19th of July. Before that, it's a long stretch of messy, onshore, and just plain poor surf. From Sunday the 5th all the way through to Saturday the 18th, the wind is mostly cross-onshore or strong, and the swell is short-period, choppy, and unappealing. There are a couple of moments with cleaner winds, like Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th, but the swell is tiny—under 3 ft—and the period is only 6 to 7 seconds, so not worth getting excited about. The energy is weak, with values like 64 and 88, just not enough push.
Now, Sunday the 19th of July morning is the standout. It’s the only time in the whole 16-day window where we see "expect good surf conditions." The swell comes in at 5 ft from the northwest, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is light offshore from the SSW at just 3 mph, so it’ll be clean, glassy, and lined up. The combined energy jumps to 262 (moderate wave energy). That’s your window. For a beginner-friendly break like Jugendbad, 5 ft is about the top end, so it’s manageable but might feel a bit punchy if you’re just starting out.
Water temp is 68°F, which is 7° warmer than average for this time of year—that’s very unusual, so you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
After that morning, the wind swings around on Sunday afternoon and it goes back to onshore and messy. Monday the 20th looks similar—cross-shore wind and poor conditions.
So, bottom line: if you’re in the mood for a paddle, make it Sunday morning. That’s the one. The rest is a write-off until then.

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.
