The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks along the stretch at Klitmoller.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough start. The first surfable window I can see kicks off on Saturday, July 18th, but that’s not a day to get excited about. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the NW, but the wind is howling onshore from the NNE at 25 mph, making a mess of things. The water is sitting at 65°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – a bit of a weird one, but it won’t help the waves.
From there, we’ve got a real dry spell. Sunday the 19th through to Tuesday the 21st of July are all poor, with tiny waves and winds that are just not making it work. The swell is small, bumpy, and the energy is weak (combined energy values between 10 and 94). The best of that run is Tuesday morning, with a 3ft WNW swell and a light cross-offshore breeze, but it’s just too weak to do anything with.
There’s a long gap of mostly nothing until Wednesday the 22nd of July. That morning, the swell jumps up to 10ft from the WNW, with a combined energy of 1005 – that’s serious power. But the wind is a strong cross-shore from the WNW at 28 mph, and it’ll be lumpy and messy. That’s big, expert-only territory. 8ft and above is not for the faint of heart, and with that wind, it’s a washing machine. Thursday the 23rd is back to small and poor.
The real standout, and the only one I’d really point to, is a stretch starting on Wednesday, July 29th, and going into Thursday, July 30th. On Wednesday morning, we’ve got a 8ft swell from the WNW, period of 7 seconds, and the wind is a gentle cross-shore from the WNW at 9 mph. The energy is pumping at 516. That’s a solid, powerful swell. The afternoon is even cleaner – 8ft, cross-offshore wind from the WSW at 12 mph, with combined energy of 610. Thursday morning is the pick of the whole outlook: 8ft from the WNW, 8-second period, 853 combined energy, and a clean cross-offshore breeze from the W at 19 mph. That’s proper, powerful surf. The direction is a good match for the optimum swell direction of WSW. It’s a big swell, so only for experienced surfers.
After that, it gets messy again. Friday the 31st of July and Saturday the 1st of August bring more wind and chop. The last calls on Sunday the 2nd of August are dropping back to 5ft and 5ft, but the wind is still cross-shore and lumpy.
So, the honest truth: if you’re looking for a clean session, keep your eyes on Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th of July. That’s your best shot. The rest of the 16 days is mostly a write-off with wind and poor quality. It’s a long wait for a couple of decent days.
Rusty.

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.
