The Lowdown
Right off the bat, things are looking pretty grim out at Klitmoller. The surf is small, weak, and the conditions are just plain messy for the first few days. We’re looking at waves around 0.2m to 0.4m, which is barely anything, and the wind is all over the place. There’s some life in the water on Wednesday the 16th when a solid 2.4m to 2.5m swell rolls in from the WNW, but the strong cross-offshore wind from the west is going to make it a battle. The energy is moderate at best (707 to 785), but it’s not clean enough to be worth a paddle out unless you’re a local who knows the bank.
The pick of the whole run is shaping up for Monday the 28th. That’s when we get a proper 3.0m swell that’s got some real push to it. The energy jumps up to 1374 and 1057, which is some serious juice. The morning wind is light cross-shore, but the afternoon turns into a gentle cross-off from the west. That’s the standout. It’s going to be big, powerful, and clean. The kind of day where you want to be a bit experienced, though – 3.0m is not for beginners. This is for the crew who know how to handle a proper wave. The swell direction is WNW, which lines up with what this break wants.
Before that, the days around the 19th-21st have some surfable waves in the 1.7m to 2.3m range, but it’s all a bit average. The winds are mostly cross-off or offshore, so there might be a few semi-decent ones, but the energy is moderate and the period is short (6-7 seconds), which will make for some lumpy, disorganized waves. Not the kind of day you get excited about.
Towards the end of the month, the swell fades out. We’re back down to 0.3m to 0.6m, and the wind picks up strong and cross-shore, making it a messy, choppy mess. The long-period stuff around the 24th (16 seconds) is just not doing anything for the size, so don’t get your hopes up.
Overall, the water is running about 16° at the start, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a little noticeable but not crazy. The first week is mostly a write-off, but if you can hold out for the 28th, that’s the day to mark in your calendar. It’s a big, clean swell with light winds – the best on offer by a long way. Just wait for it, and don’t bother with the mushy stuff before.

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.
