The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Klitmoller.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – the next week and a half is pretty grim. There’s a whole lot of nothing happening. We’ve got a solid run of days with "poor surf conditions" stamped across the board. From Monday afternoon through to the end of July, the wind is just a mess, mostly howling out of the NW or WNW, and the swell is either too small, too short period, or just plain ugly. The water is a warm 65°F currently, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when you’re staring at a lake.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Sunday, August 2nd. That morning, the wind finally eases off to a gentle breeze from the WSW, going cross-offshore. The swell picks up to a solid 6ft out of the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds and moderate wave energy (313). That’s the one standout on the whole chart. It’s the only day that gets a "good surf conditions" nod. It’s a bit of a wait, but that’s your best bet.
Now, the break itself is Klitmoller, a beach and point setup that’s fairly consistent and fairly exposed. The optimum swell direction is WSW, so that 6ft WNW swell is coming in right on the money. The morning will be clean, though the period is short, so don’t expect machine-gun barrels. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but with a 6ft swell, it’ll be pushing it for the absolute beginners. The crowd situation is "sometimes" here, so you might have a few mates out, but it won’t be a circus.
After that morning, the surf drops off again quickly. The afternoon of the 2nd goes flat, and the rest of the forecast through to August 4th is just weak, short-period slop with strong winds. The 4th sees a 3ft swell with a 5-second period – that’s just wind chop, not worth the paddle.
So, to sum it up: you’re looking at a long, dry spell, then one clear winner on the morning of Sunday, August 2nd. That’s your window. Don’t hold your breath for anything else.
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.
