The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here with a look at the Kleinemonde lineup. The water’s sitting pretty average for the time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
We’ve got a rough start. Thursday the 30th of July has some waist-chest high swell, but that cross-on wind has it looking like a washing machine. That carries right through the weekend – the wind is on it and the swell’s a mess. Sunday the 2nd of August sees the size jump, but it’s lumpy and hard to love.
The first real window opens on Tuesday the 4th of August. We get a light cross-off wind cleaning up a 4ft SSW swell. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and there won’t be a crowd. A solid little session if you need a fix.
Now, the one you wait for is Thursday the 6th of August. A solid 7ft SSW groundswell, with a 14-second period, running into clean, cross-off wind. The energy is pumping. This is for the experienced surfers – powerful, clean lines, and that morning will be magic.
We get another big pulse around Saturday the 8th of August, but it’s pushing 10ft. Wind is clean, but that’s strictly for the big wave crew. After that, the wind turns nasty with onshore gales through the weekend and into the following week. A massive 18ft swell shows up on the 11th of August, but it’s a total mess with the wind. That’s kite surfing territory.
Wednesday the 12th of August offers a last look with a clean 6ft SW swell and light offshore wind. A good option for the intermediate surfer, but not the power of the 6th.
So, here’s the call: the standout is Thursday the 6th of August morning. Tuesday the 4th is your smaller, clean fallback. The rest of the run is a write-off.
Rusty.

Information about the Kleinemonde Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Kleinemonde provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kleinemonde can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kleinemonde 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 (Kleinemonde) 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 Kleinemonde 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.
