Klitmoller Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s look at what’s happening at Klitmøller. The start is a bit of a dud, I’ll be honest. For the next few days, the waves are tiny and the wind is messy. The water’s at 62°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s slightly above par.

From Tuesday the 14th through the end of the week, it’s pretty much a washout. We’re talking ankle-biters, maybe 0.3ft to 1.0ft, with poor conditions. The wind’s all over the place, and the combined energy is barely a whisper. You’d be better off having a lie-in.

Now, Saturday the 18th morning is where things get real. We’ve got a solid swell building, coming in at 5ft from the NW, with a combined energy of 307. That’s some moderate energy. The wind is a cross-onshore from the NNW at 12 mph, so it’s going to be a bit choppy. The rating is good, but it’s not going to be glassy. This is a decent option for the experienced surfer who doesn’t mind a bit of chop.

But the real standout, the one you’ll be talking about, is Saturday the 18th afternoon. The swell jumps to 12ft from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy hits 1777 – that’s strong wave energy. This is big, powerful stuff. It’s only for experts, no question. The wind is a cross-shore near gale from the WNW at 34 mph, which is going to make it wild and challenging. At a beach and point setup like Klitmøller, this is going to be a raw, powerful, and potentially dangerous session. The crowds can be around sometimes, but on a day like this, they’ll be thin on the ground.

After that, we get a bit of a lull. Sunday the 19th morning is flat, but Sunday afternoon sees a drop back to 4ft with a moderate cross-onshore wind. The energy is back down to 166. It’s not the same quality.

Looking further out, the second week is a mixed bag. Monday the 20th to Tuesday the 21st has some small 2ft to 3ft waves with onshore winds, nothing special. Wednesday the 22nd and Thursday the 23rd are mostly flat or tiny, with some clean but weak conditions. The real kicker for the end of the period is Sunday the 26th morning. We get a long-period groundswell of 0.3ft from the NW with a period of 14 seconds. That’s a very long period, which means it’ll be clean, but the energy is only 13. It’s more of a promise than a reality. The wind is cross-offshore from the W at 19 mph, which will keep it clean. It’s a sign that things might be turning around, but it’s a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed.

Overall, the only truly standout session is that Saturday afternoon with the big, powerful NW swell. For the rest of the 16 days, it’s mostly small, weak, or wind-affected. For a stretch of nearly a week in the middle there, it’s pretty much flat or very small. If you’re a beginner, stay away from that Saturday afternoon – it’s too big. For the rest, it’s a waiting game.
