The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for our little slice of coast.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one to swallow. The next two weeks are looking pretty bleak for a decent paddle. The issue is relentless wind. We've got strong northwesterlies that just won't let up, absolutely tearing the place up. It's not that there's no swell; there are pulses of energy coming through, but the wind is going to trash it. We're looking at a long, frustrating stretch here.
For Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th, forget it. There's some solid, shoulder-high swell, hitting between 5ft and 8ft from the NW, but it's being bulldozed by a strong cross-shore. It's just messy, lumpy, and cross-chop. The combined energy is moderate, peaking at 815, but it's ugly. The water's a touch cool for August, sitting at 62°, but that's about normal for the time of year.
We get a tiny breather on Thursday the 13th. A light offshore wind from the southwest will swing in, cleaning the sea up. The problem? There's almost no swell to save us. Just a tiny, weak 2ft from the WSW with a combined energy of only 41. You could be out there on a foamie, but you'll be scratching for scraps. That pocket of clean conditions won't last.
Then it's back to the wind machine. Friday the 14th is small and weak, and Saturday the 15th brings another big pulse of ugly, cross-shore wash from the NW. The swell hits a solid 7ft with moderate energy (396-407), but the Strong Breeze off the water creates a messy cross-chop that's only good for kite surfers, not paddle surfers.
Now, Sunday the 16th is the only real standout on the whole chart, but there's a hefty caveat. The afternoon is showing a 10ft (double-overhead plus) swell from the WNW, and the combined energy jumps to *very strong* at 1131. It's big, powerful stuff. The wind is a strong cross-off, which could make for some clean, powerful walls at Klitmoller. This is the kind of size you need to respect – experts only. For everyone else, it's a day to watch. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it won't be the most lined-up, but the raw energy and the clean surface is the best combination we'll see.
After that, it's a total desert. The whole of the following week – from Monday the 17th all the way to Monday the 24th – is a write-off. It's either blown out, tiny, or onshore. There's a brief window on the morning of Tuesday the 18th where we get a clean, gentle offshore breeze, and the swell is back up to 5ft with moderate energy (236), so it's surfable, but conditions are described as "very ordinary". The swell is holding on, but the quality just isn't there. The period is a short 7 seconds from the WNW, so it won't be that best. It's the best of a bad bunch, but don't get your hopes up.
The second week is a ghost town. Blustery northwesterlies, tiny leftovers, and onshore crud. The 24th and 25th have a little bump, but it's either onshore or barely a ripple.
So, here it is. Your one real chance for a session is Sunday the 16th, but only if you're an experienced charger. The rest of the 16-day window is a struggle against the wind. Sometimes it's just like that here. The forecasts can change, but for now, keep your rig waxed by the door and wait for a better day.
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.
