The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what Klitmoller has on offer over the next couple of weeks.
Right now, things are a bit of a mixed bag. The first real surf we can talk about lands on Sunday the 26th. The water temp is 63.7°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a thick suit straight away. Sunday morning we’ve got some clouds, a 6.2 ft swell from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds, and cross-offshore wind out of the west at 15.5 mph. The combined energy is moderate (619), the waves will be clean and ridable. However, the swell is getting up there past 5 ft, so beginners might find it a bit of a handful.
Sunday afternoon looks even better. The swell drops a touch to 4.9 ft from the same WNW direction, the wind eases to a gentle 9.3 mph from the WSW, and the energy drops but is still solid (368). The report says "expect good surf conditions" – that’s the highlight of the entire outlook. Klitmoller is a beach and point break, fairly exposed, and that best swell direction is from the WSW, so this afternoon slot lines up nicely. The break can get crowded sometimes, so keep your eyes peeled for company. There’s a 9-second period, which is a short-interval swell, so it won’t have the grunt of a groundswell, but it’ll be clean thanks to that offshore angle.
Then the wheels fall off. Monday the 27th through to Wednesday, August 6th is a brutal stretch. We’re talking days of no surf or tiny, weak scraps. The wind goes nasty – strong cross-shore breezes up to 27.9 mph on Monday with an 8.2 ft messy cross-chop, and the 8-second period won’t save it. The energy is moderate (720–866), but the quality is zero. Tuesday through to the end of the first week of August is a write-off: flat spells, lumpy wind, or tiny 0.3 ft to 2 ft bumps with no energy. For about ten days, it’s one of those gaps where you just don’t bother paddling out. Honestly, it looks more like a kite-surfing window than a surf session.
The next faint glimmer is Thursday, August 7th. Morning shows a 9.8 ft swell from the WNW with an 8-second period, but the cross-wind is blowing hard at 24.9 mph. The combined energy is very strong (1148), but with that wind state, it’s going to be a messy, cross-choppy mess. Only experts should even look at it, and even then, expect poor conditions. Friday the 8th and Saturday the 9th are similar – 7.2 ft to 8.2 ft, cross-winds, choppy. Between the size and the wind, this is not paddle-friendly; it’s a windy, churned-up lineup.
After that, the last few days trail off into tiny, weak conditions with no real push. It’s a proper lull after the 9th.
If I had to call one standout, it’s Sunday the 26th afternoon at Klitmoller. That’s your cleanest, most enjoyable window with a decent 4.9 ft swell and gentle offshore breeze. The rest is a long, dreary wait.
Stay patient, crew.

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.
