The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for the local stretch.
To be honest, the next 16 days look pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of next to nothing on offer, and even when the swell does show up, the wind is gonna mess it up. The water temperature is sitting at about 61°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real sign of any life doesn’t show up until Friday the 7th of August, but don’t get your hopes up. The swell jumps up to 6ft from the west, but with a period of just 6 seconds, it’s weak and messy. The wind is a strong cross-shore from the WNW at 31 mph, making it a total washing machine. That combined wave energy is a moderate 245, but with that wind, it’s a write-off. The swell builds a bit more over the weekend, with Saturday the 8th seeing 6ft from the WNW, but again, the wind is a fresh cross-shore, making it lumpy. This is more of a kite-surfing session than a paddling one.
We then go into a dry spell again. The next notable bump is around Wednesday the 12th of August, with a 4ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is a strong cross-off from the west at 25 mph. That’s a bit cleaner, but still blown out. The combined energy is moderate at 144.
There’s a tease on Friday the 14th of August, with a 5ft swell from the WNW and a moderate cross-off breeze, that’s the cleanest we’ll see but still not great. Then the final weekend, Sunday the 16th of August, has the biggest swell of the period at 6ft from the WNW, but again, a fresh cross-shore wind is going to chop it up. The wave energy is strong at 312, but the conditions are just not there for a clean ride.
Honestly, there isn’t a standout session in this whole window. The wind is the enemy, and the swell is just too short-period and messy. It’s a rough run for Klitmoller.
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.
