Klitmoller Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about what’s cookin’ at Klitmoller.

Right now, we’re looking at a pretty quiet start. The beginning of the forecast period is a dud – Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th offer next to nothing paddle-worthy. In fact, the first few days are basically a write-off for surfers. You’ll be staring at flat, weak, or messy conditions for the better part of a week. Sunday the 19th through to Wednesday the 23rd of July ain’t much better, with small, inconsistent, and mostly choppy or cross-shore slop. The combined energy stays low, mostly under 100 or barely above.

Then things start to get a little more interesting from Thursday the 24th of July. The swell picks up, but the wind is still a problem – strong breezes keep things clean but very windy. The energy climbs into the 200–400 range, which is solid, but it’s a raw, windy kinda power. The swell sits around 5 ft to 7 ft from the WNW, with a period around 6 to 8 seconds – not the cleanest groundswell, and the wind is cross-off or cross, so it’s not gonna be glassy.

The real standout, the one that gets my heart rate up, is Saturday the 26th of July. That morning, we’ve got 6 ft of WNW swell with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is cross-off from the W at 25 mph. The combined energy is a hefty 414 (moderate energy). It’s gonna be a big, wind-affected day, but for experienced surfers, there’s power and size. The wind is strong, but it’s blowing clean, so lines should hold. This is a charger’s window.

But the absolute best of the whole 16-day run? That’s Saturday the 1st of August. We’re looking at a solid 12 ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 1514 – that’s a very strong, powerful swell. The wind is cross-off from the W at 19 mph, keeping things clean. This is a big, big swell. It’s too big for beginners – this is proper expert territory. The break is a beach and point setup, so it can handle that size, but you’ll need your wits about you. This is the one to circle on the calendar, but it’s still a week and a half out, so keep an eye on the updates.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a bust. The second week builds, with the 26th of July offering a promising, powerful day for the experienced, and the 1st of August is the real stand-out – a proper, big, clean swell for the brave.
