The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into what’s showing for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s a tough one. The first real chance of anything surfable won’t show up until Friday the 21st of August, and even then it’s a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves or flat conditions right from the start, with poor surf all the way through Wednesday and Thursday. So don’t bother waxing up until the weekend.
The first bit of interest comes Friday afternoon the 21st at Klitmoller. We’ll see a 7ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a short period of 7 seconds, giving us moderate wave energy (436). The wind is a fresh cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean but that short period means it’ll be a bit crumbly, not the best for a long wall. That morning was flat, so the afternoon is your window.
Saturday the 22nd keeps it going. Morning swell is 6ft from the WNW (289 energy), still with a clean cross-offshore wind. It’s a bit smaller than Friday afternoon but still surfable. The afternoon gets a bit messy with rain showers and a cross-shore wind, making it lumpy. Sunday the 23rd morning has a bump in energy to 728 with a 6ft WNW swell, but the wind is cross-shore and the period is still short at 8 seconds. It’s rated as marginal, so it’s a gamble.
Monday the 24th sees a drop in size. Morning swell is 5ft from the WNW, with a light cross-offshore breeze making it clean, but the energy is moderate (170) and the period is short (6 seconds). It’s surfable but ordinary. After that, the window slams shut again. From Tuesday the 25th through the end of the month, we’ve got tiny waves, poor conditions, and no real swell to speak of. The water temp is about 63°, which is about normal for this time of year.
The only standouts in the whole run are Friday afternoon the 21st through Monday the 24th. If you’re picking a winner, I’d say Friday afternoon the 21st has the best combo of size and clean wind for Klitmoller. But remember, the short period means don’t expect a super clean barrel. This stretch is more for the intermediate crowd; the 7ft could be a bit much for beginners. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off.
Rusty.

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.
