The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this down. We’ve got a quiet start and a whole lotta waiting before things get real. The first week is mostly a bust, but there’s some solid action coming in September.
From Tuesday the 25th through the morning of Friday the 28th, it’s near flat. Small, weak swells, onshore winds, and not a wave worth paddling for. A gap of a few days with nothing.
Friday the 28th afternoon: First sign of life – a 6 ft swell from the east with a short 6-second period. Combined energy is 201 (moderate). Wind goes cross-offshore, cleaning it up. It’s surfable, but ordinary. Not a standout.
Saturday the 29th is flat. Glassy, but flat.
Sunday the 30th: Small, clean, a 3 ft swell from the WSW with offshore wind in the afternoon. Combined energy is only 45. Good for a longboard or a learner, but not a session to write home about.
Monday the 31st: More of the same – clean and weak.
Now we’re talking. Tuesday the 1st of September: A 6 ft swell from the west, 8-second period, combined energy of 386. Wind is cross-offshore. This is the first real swell of the forecast. Clean, decent size – good for intermediate surfers. Beginners might find it a bit much, but it’s not out of control.
Wednesday morning the 3rd of September: Another solid 6 ft swell from the WNW, 8-second period, combined energy of 327. Clean with a moderate cross-offshore breeze. This one has a longer period, so it’ll be more drawn out. Best for points.
Wednesday the 9th of September afternoon: The big dog. A 10 ft swell from the NNW, 8-second period. Combined energy is a massive 1163. But the wind is a strong cross-shore, making it messy. This is for experts only – over 8 ft is expert territory. Dumpy and fast. Only for the brave.
Standouts:
Best overall is Tuesday the 1st of September morning – 6 ft west swell, clean, cross-offshore wind. The balance of size and quality is hard to beat.
Second best is Wednesday the 3rd of September morning – similar size, longer period from the WNW, cleaner wind. More shape and draw.
The 9th is the biggest, but rough. Not for the faint of heart.
Water temp is 62°F, which is about average for this time of year. No surprises.
Klitmoller is a beach and point setup, so with longer period swells, the point will offer the best waves. The beach can get a bit straight.
For beginners, the first week is near flat and the second week has waves too big or too messy. This forecast is for the crew who can handle a bit of power and a wait.

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.
