The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve had a good look at the charts for Jugendbad, and I’ve got to be straight with you—it’s a tough stretch ahead. The next 16 days are pretty much a write-off for any decent surf. We’re looking at a long, barren run with no real standouts at all.
Right from the start, Wednesday the 2nd kicks things off with a weak, short-period 4 ft swell from the WSW, but it’s ruined by a fresh 19 mph cross-shore wind. The combined energy is a measly 84, and the water temp is about average for the time of year, but none of that matters when the surface is lumpy cross-chop. That’s the story for the first week or more: every session is plagued by strong winds, messy cross-onshore slop, and poor quality. The swell bumps up to 8 ft on Saturday the 5th, but with a strong breeze over 28 mph, the wave energy hits 700 (moderate), but the wind conditions make it unsurfable.
There’s a tiny glimmer on Sunday the 6th with a 5 ft NNW swell and a cleaner cross-shore breeze, but the wave energy is still weak at 293 and the quality is still poor. After that, it drops off to nothing—tiny 1 ft and 0.7 ft swells on Monday the 7th, and we’re in the doldrums for days. The second week is a total bust: the 16th of September sees a pathetic 2 ft wave with a period of only 3 seconds and a combined energy of just 9. It’s flat, it’s messy, and the onshore winds are from the NNW.
Honestly, there’s not a single window I’d paddle out for. The setups are all beach breaks, and with the strong winds and poor surf quality, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. A blank run like this is more normal for the area, so don’t hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards at home.

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.
