The Lowdown

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

Honestly, the outlook is a bit of a bummer at the start. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing to get excited about. From now, right through the end of August and into the first days of September, the surf is just plain poor. The wind is all over the shop, mostly cross or cross-off, but the swell is tiny, weak, and short period – total dribble. There’s a gap of about nine days with no real surf to speak of.

Then things start to change. As we move into the first week of September, the northwest swell machine starts to fire up. It’s not a clean start, but by the morning of the 2nd of September, we’ve got a solid 8ft swell from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. That’s a lot of energy in the water – about 724 (moderate to strong wave energy). The wind is a cross-off from the WSW, which keeps things clean. Now, this is a big swell for Klitmoller, and it’s pushing over 8ft, so this is really only for the experts. The water temp is about average for the time of year, sitting around 62°.

The standouts? The Monday the 31st of August into the afternoon of the 1st of September is where you want to be watching. The swell is up around 7ft from the WNW, with a consistent cross-off wind. The energy is ramping up too – 475 on Monday morning, and 506 on Tuesday afternoon. The waves will have some punch. This is a beach and point set-up, so on the bigger days, it could offer some fun lines, but watch for it to be a bit straight on the beach. The point might handle it better.

The other standout is the morning of the 2nd of September. That 8ft NW swell with clean cross-off wind is the biggest we see. It’s the pick of the bunch for the experienced crew, but it’s a week and a half out, so you’ve got to be a bit patient. The period is a touch short, so don’t expect super long walls, but there’ll be plenty of push.

Crowds are possible at Klitmoller, especially if the wind plays nice and the swell is up. It’s a fairly consistent spot, but after a long dry spell, everyone will be keen.

So, be patient. The first week and a half is a write-off. The last few days of the first week of September and into the second week are where the real promise is. Keep your eyes on that NW swell.

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.
