The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Klitmoller. The next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. There’s a long, quiet patch coming up first, with a lot of wind and no real surf to speak of. But hold on, because there’s a window of promise later on that’s got my attention.
We start off with a bit of a dud. Sunday the 30th of August sees a tiny 2ft swell from the west, with a short period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 61. It’s glassy in the morning, which is a treat, but the waves are just too poor to bother with. Then the wind picks up hard from the WSW at 19 mph, and the surf is pretty much gone. Monday and Tuesday are a write-off too – tiny, wind-affected junk. The swell energy is basically zero.
We’ve got a real gap here. From Sunday the 30th right through to the morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September, there’s nothing worth getting wet for. Wednesday morning finally shows a 6ft swell from the WNW, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the wind is howling from the west at 19 mph. It’s a shame because the energy is moderate (355), but the conditions are reported as “poor”. The surf quality just isn’t there.
The pattern continues through Thursday and Friday with consistent cross-off winds and moderate swell energy, but again, the surf quality is poor. The swell is there, but it’s messy.
Now, Saturday the 5th of September is a different story for the wrong reasons. The swell builds big – 12ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds and a very strong energy of 1472. But the wind is a strong cross-shore from the WNW at 25 mph, and it’s making a total mess of things. That’s not for the faint of heart, and honestly, it looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing one.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, arrives on Sunday the 6th of September. The morning is looking promising. A solid 7ft groundswell from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds, gives a moderate energy of 342. But the key is the wind: it’s a light offshore from the SSW at just 6 mph. The report says “expect good surf conditions.” For Klitmoller, this is the best on offer. The waves will be clean and well-shaped, especially for a beach and point break. This is a solid session for intermediate surfers. The afternoon does get a bit smaller and the wind swings around, so get on it early.
Monday the 7th of September ramps up the size again. The afternoon sees a big 12ft swell from the WNW with a long period of 9 seconds, and the energy is a massive 1984. The wind is a fresh offshore from the SSW at 22 mph. The report even says “wind and tide favorable”. But here’s the catch – it’s predicted to be too big for this break. This is for experts only, and even then, it’s going to be a serious, heavy paddle. The waves will be powerful and clean, but it’s not for everyone.
After that, Tuesday the 8th of September still has a large 10ft swell from the NW (1432 energy) with fresh offshore winds, but the conditions are flagged as “marginal”. The swell is dropping, but it’s still big and powerful. From Wednesday the 9th, the swell fades away again, the wind picks up, and we’re back to poor conditions for the rest of the outlook.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The best bet, and the only true standout, is the morning of Sunday the 6th of September. The 7ft swell with light offshore winds will give you the cleanest, most fun waves of the whole period. The Monday afternoon is a big, powerful, expert-only session if you’re up for the challenge. Everything else is a no-go.

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