The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' up at Klitmoller.
To be honest, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We've got a long stretch of lumpy, choppy, cross-shore winds and messy conditions that just aren't doing us any favours. The wave energy is weak, with values barely hitting triple digits, and what little swell there is gets torn apart by the wind. It’s a grim one for a while.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Saturday, the 29th of August. We finally see a shift with a light offshore wind from the south on the morning, cleaning things right up. The swell is a modest 4ft from the WSW with a period of 8 seconds, giving us a combined energy of 192. It's not a monster, but it's the first clean, surfable waves we've had in ages. The break is fairly consistent and exposed to the swell, so there should be fun, rideable waves on offer. The water temperature is sitting right around the long-term average for this time of year, so it's nothing to write home about in that department.
The standout, and really the only call to make here, is that Saturday morning session at Klitmoller itself. The 29th of August is your day. The offshore wind makes it a clean, glassy peak, and while the crowd can show up sometimes, it's the best we've got by a long shot. The afternoon remains clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the morning is the pick for the absolute best conditions.
For the rest of the outlook, there's nothing else that comes close to a proper recommendation. The energy is too low, the wind is on it, or it's just blown out. It's a waiting game until that Saturday.
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.
