Klitmoller Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, checking in from the lineup. Honestly, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long, flat spell up front, and it’s not until the second week that we see any real pulse of energy, and even then it comes with problems.

The forecast starts with a whole lot of nothing. From Friday the 10th right through to the morning of Saturday the 18th, we’re looking at a stretch of days with barely a ripple. Tiny, weak swells, mostly under 2 ft, with short, choppy periods and onshore or cross‑shore winds ruining any chance of a wave. The water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year, about 61°F, nothing unusual there.

The first genuine sign of life shows up on Saturday morning, the 18th of July. Klitmoller (Denmark) finally gets a bump with a 5 ft swell from the WNW, period around 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a moderate 209. The wind is offshore from the SW, blowing light and clean, which is a major positive. The catch is the swell is right on the edge of being too big for beginners, and the break is a beach and point setup that’s fairly exposed. It’s surfable, but it’s not a standout. The afternoon gets chopped up by a fresh cross‑shore breeze, so the morning is the only window.

The next true standout comes much later, on Wednesday the 22nd of July. The morning sees a solid 8 ft swell from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 675, which is strong. That’s a serious amount of water moving. However, the wind is a cross‑shore from the NW at 12 mph, creating a lumpy cross‑chop. That size is strictly for experienced surfers only—over 8 ft is expert territory, and 8 ft is just shy of that, but it’s still a handful. The period is short, so the waves will be steep and a bit junky, better suited to the point break setup at Klitmoller than the beach. The afternoon is messier with the same cross‑shore wind.

All in all, the best chance for a clean, surfable wave in this 16‑day window is the Saturday morning of the 18th, with that 5 ft, clean offshore swell. It’s not epic, but it’s the only moment where the wind and swell line up. The 22nd has more size but the wind spoils it. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because this area tends to get better with a change in wind, and a few days of consistent surf can turn up.

Rusty.
