The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s in store for the next couple of weeks. We’re only looking at one spot that’s working, and that’s Kleinemonde – a beach and point break that’s wide open to the ocean. The water’s sitting at about 65°F, which is a touch colder than usual for this time of year. The first few days are a total loss. The swell is there, but the wind is howling – fresh breeze to near gale – turning everything into a blown-out mess. There’s a little window of hope starting on Sunday morning, but it’s tiny.
The real deal starts on Sunday, 2 August in the afternoon. It’s going to be glassy, with a small 3ft SSW groundswell at a long 14 seconds. The energy is low (233), but it will be clean. That’s a rare thing. The next morning, Monday, 3 August, is the same – glassy conditions with a 4ft SW swell. It’s not big, but for a quiet session, it’s the best we’re going to see. The wind is light and offshore, so it’ll be smooth.
The standout, the one that gets me talking, is Tuesday, 4 August in the morning. We’ve got a 4ft SW swell, clean cross-offshore wind from the NNW, and the whole setup looks fun. For an intermediate surfer, that’s going to be a paddle-out you’ll remember. The point break will handle that long period energy well, and the break is fairly consistent. Just keep an eye out for the crowd, it can get busy sometimes.
Later in the second week, from 5 August onward, we see some bigger pulses – 6ft to 8ft – but the wind gets messy. There’s a hint of something good on Friday, 7 August afternoon with a clean 7ft SW swell and cross-off winds, but that’s a long way out. The real big stuff, 10ft to 11ft, shows up on the 8th and 9th, but the wind is terrible, and it’ll be a mess. For the average surfer, the best bet is the small, clean window from Sunday the 2nd through Tuesday the 4th.

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.

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.
