The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Klitmoller.
Honestly, the next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag, and for the most part, it’s going to be a grind. The water is currently sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a small comfort. For the first few days, there’s just nothing doing. The surf that shows up is small, wind-affected, and the wave comment tells the story: poor conditions. We’ve got a long stretch of mediocrity ahead.
The first real chance to get wet without a total battle starts to show up on Monday afternoon, the 7th of September. It’s not huge, with a 4 ft swell from the WSW, but the key here is the wind swings offshore. That’s a big deal. It’ll be clean, and the combined energy is moderate (276). It’s a short-period swell at 7 seconds, so it won’t have the punch of a groundswell, but for a Monday session, it’s about the best on offer.
The real standout, and the one that gets my heart rate up, is the pulse on Saturday the 5th of September. Now, you have to be an expert for this one. The swell is pushing 15 ft from the WNW with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy is monstrous (4021). That’s a serious amount of water moving. The problem is the wind – a near gale from the WNW, cross-shore, creating a messy, dangerous scene. The wave comment literally says "near gale cross-shore with crossing waves." This is a big, powerful, and dangerous setup. It’s a beach and point setup, and with that much wind and swell, it’s going to be a washing machine. Honestly, for a standard paddle surfer, this looks more like a day for the kite surfers to have a field day. The setup is too hostile for anything else.
Looking further out, the second week is pretty quiet. There’s a marginal window on Saturday the 12th of September with a 7 ft swell from the WNW, but it’s cross-shore and a bit lumpy. The energy is moderate (373), but the quality is poor.
The bottom line is this: if you’re a beginner, stay out of the water on the 5th. The 5 ft to 8 ft days are just too wind-affected. The only real window of clean, offshore conditions with decent, surfable waves is Monday afternoon, September 7th. It’s not a world-class day, but it’s the only true standout in the window. Get on it while you can.
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.
