The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty talkin’. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag comin’ up for Kleinemonde over the next couple weeks. There’s some serious energy on the cards, but the wind is gonna play a game of hide and seek with us. Let’s break it down.
Right now, it’s a bit of a write-off. We’re lookin’ at strong winds and a choppy, messy ocean. Hold tight, because the real action kicks off on Monday morning, the 10th of August. That’s our standout window. The swell is a solid 7ft from the SSW with a nice, long 12-second period, packin’ a lot of punch with 1447 energy. The wind is a gentle breeze coming cross-offshore, keepin’ it clean. For an intermediate surfer, this is gonna be a proper session. Just know it’s a bit much for beginners at that size.
After that, the week turns ugly. From Tuesday the 11th right through to Saturday the 16th, onshore winds and poor conditions take over. The swell drops right off, too, hittin’ a low of 2ft. That’s a solid stretch of flat and messy days.
There is a light at the end of the tunnel though. Look ahead to Monday morning, the 17th of August. That’s a special one. The wind is glassy, like a sheet of glass, with a slight air from the SSW. The swell is small at 3ft from the SW with a 13-second period. The energy is only 242, but that glassy surface on a consistent beach and point break like Kleinemonde – it’s gonna be smooth and fun for a longboard. Get it while it lasts.
The second week is a bit of a gamble. There’s another pulse of swell on the 19th and 20th, with strong cross-offshore winds, but the period is short and the conditions are described as marginal. It looks promising, but we’ve seen this before. I’d be watching that window for a potential, but I wouldn’t be bankin’ on it yet.
Overall, if you’re a keen local, the Monday the 10th is your best bet for some proper, powerful waves. Keep the glassy Monday the 17th on the radar for a cleaner, more relaxed session. The rest of the time? Grab a book.
Rusty.

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.
