Klitmoller Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

First off, I gotta be straight with you—it's a slow start. We're looking at a real quiet spell for the first week or so. From Sunday the 12th right through to Sunday the 19th, there's nothing doing. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the shop, and it's just not worth getting wet. You'd be fighting a losing battle.

Now, things start to look a bit more interesting around Monday the 20th. The water is sitting at about 62°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a small mercy.

The real standout window is Monday the 20th, and it's all at Klitmoller. We've got a solid pulse of swell arriving on the Monday morning. The swell is coming from the WNW at a decent 8ft, and the wind is swinging cross-offshore from the west. That's a proper clean setup. The combined energy is pushing 531 (moderate), so there's some proper grunt in the water. The period is a bit on the short side at 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit bumpy and won't have that long, drawn-out feel, but the conditions will be clean. It's a beach and point break, so it should handle that swell direction well. This is probably the best on offer for the whole run, but keep in mind it's a bit of a beast for beginners at that size. Monday afternoon drops to 6ft, still clean, with energy at 307 (moderate). The breaks can get crowded sometimes, so if you're keen, get in early.

After that, the pattern gets a bit messy again. Tuesday the 21st is a write-off with tiny surf and a fresh breeze. Wednesday the 22nd has a bit of a pulse in the morning, 5ft from the WNW but with a stiff 35 km/h wind, and the energy is moderate at 165. It's clean, but it's going to be a battle with that wind. Not the best.

Then we get another blip on Thursday the 23rd. The swell is back up to 8ft from the WNW in the morning, with energy at a strong 588 (moderate to strong), but the wind is a fresh cross-shore, making it lumpy. By the afternoon, it's 8ft with 770 (moderate to strong) energy, but again, that cross-shore wind is going to chop it up. That's expert territory at that size, and the wind isn't doing us any favours.

Friday the 24th looks cleaner. The swell drops to 5ft in the morning, cross-offshore wind, energy at 291 (moderate). That's a much more manageable size and clean conditions. The swell is from the WNW, which is a good direction for the point. A solid second option for the week.

The weekend of the 25th and 26th is a bit mixed. Saturday the 25th has some small, clean waves in the morning around 3ft, but the wind goes cross-shore in the afternoon. Sunday the 26th is back to onshore winds and small swell. Not worth planning around.

Finally, Monday the 27th afternoon shows some promise. The swell is 6ft from the WNW, cross-offshore wind, and energy at 410 (moderate). The forecast says it's marginal, but that's the first decent signal we've seen for a while. It's a long way off, so don't book the trip yet, but it's worth keeping an eye on.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a total write-off. The best bet by a mile is Monday the 20th at Klitmoller, with the morning session looking the cleanest. After that, Thursday the 23rd has size but is lumpy, and Friday the 24th is a cleaner, smaller option. The rest is either too small, too windy, or too far out to call.

Rusty.
