Klitmoller Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Klitmoller over the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, this is a tough outlook. The first several days are all a write-off for decent surf. Even when there’s size, the wind is just ruining it, making for poor conditions. We’re looking at a long wait with nothing solid on the cards until we get towards the end of the first week.

Saturday the 5th is a big, messy no-go. A strong 18-25 mph wind from the west and northwest is just tearing it up, with a 10-13 ft swell but so much chop you can’t even think about it. The combined wave energy is massive (1071 and 2691), but it’s all for nothing. Sunday and Monday keep that pattern going: fresh wind, cross-shore junk. Not surfable.

We finally get a little glimmer on the afternoon of Wednesday the 9th? No, that’s still got strong breeze and a 10 ft swell turning into a washing machine. Thursday the 10th afternoon could be interesting – a gentler 5 ft swell from the WNW, but with a light 9 mph offshore breeze from the SSW. That’s super clean and the best call. The combined energy is moderate (207).

After that, it’s a sad run. Swell drops away fast, and we get onshore wind or tiny surf with no energy for days. There’s a huge gap of nothing worth paddling for from Friday the 11th all the way through to the end of the second week. A couple of windows on the 15th and 16th September bring back some size (6 ft to 8 ft) with moderate combined energy (188 to 704), but the wind is cross-off or strong, keeping it from being a true standout.

For what it’s worth, the water temp is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for the time of year.

The one real standout, and the only spot I’d even bother looking at, is Thursday 10th September afternoon. The wind turns light offshore (9 mph from the SSW) making for glassy, clean lines on the 5 ft, 6-second swell (207 combined energy). It’s not going to be huge or perfect, but it’s the cleanest window we’ve got. The break can get crowded sometimes, so it’s worth getting out there if you can.

For the rest of the period, there’s just not enough quality to recommend. The swell is too small, the wind is too strong, or the periods are too short to make anything decent. It’s a pretty bleak run.

Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, but don’t expect much.

Rusty.
