The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Klitmoller.

Honestly, mate, the next 16 days are a proper mixed bag. We’ve got a fair bit of swell on the horizon, but the wind is going to be a persistent pain in the arse, messing up a lot of the potential. The pattern is pretty clear: the first week is mostly a write-off, then we get a spike of bigger, stronger swell around the start of September, but it’s going to be rough and lumpy for a lot of it. You’ll need to pick your moments carefully.

The water is sitting at 63°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a small win.

We start off with a big gap. Nothing really worth paddling out for from Friday August 28th right through to Sunday August 30th. The swell is tiny, the wind is all wrong, and it’s just poor surf conditions.

Sunday morning the 30th finally shows a pulse, but it’s weak. We’ve got a 3 ft swell from the WNW with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a paltry 87. The wind is light cross-off, so it’s clean, but the waves are just ordinary. It’s a small, weak wave for a longboard or a foiler, but it’s not going to get you stoked.

Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September are tiny again, with swell dropping to 1 ft and 2 ft. The wind is offshore or cross-off, so it’s clean, but there’s just no power. It’s a flat spell.

Then things change. Wednesday morning the 2nd of September, we get a solid jump. A 8 ft swell from the West, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a strong 578. But here’s the kicker: the wind is a fresh cross-shore from the WNW, and it’s creating a lumpy cross-chop. That’s going to make it messy and hard to surf. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a cross-off wind, but the swell drops to 6 ft and the energy is still high at 606. It’s powerful, but the quality is still poor.

Thursday the 3rd of September sees a solid 6 ft to 7 ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds and energy readings of 410 and 504. The morning has a fresh offshore wind from the South, which is a major positive. That’s the standout for the first week. It’s the only real window where the wind is working with the swell. The waves will be clean and powerful, but it’s a solid 6 ft, so it’s not for the beginners. The afternoon turns cross-off, but the wind picks up to 19 mph, so it’s still workable.

Friday the 4th of September through Sunday the 6th keeps the swell in the 6 ft to 7 ft range, but the wind is a constant 19-22 mph cross-off or cross-shore. It’s going to be a windy, choppy mess. The energy is high, between 347 and 513, so there’s grunt, but it’s not going to be a classic session. The setup is a beach and point, so with that much wind and swell, it might be more interesting for the kite surfers than the paddle crew.

Sunday afternoon the 6th of September is worth a mention. The swell hits 8 ft from the WNW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy rockets to 865. That is a serious amount of power. But the wind is a clean cross-off from the West at 12 mph. The score is a 2, so it’s marginal. At 8 ft, this is for experts only. It’s a big, powerful, and potentially dangerous wave.

After that, the swell drops away quickly. Monday the 7th has a 6 ft swell, but the wind is cross-shore and lumpy again. From Tuesday the 8th onwards, it’s back to small, weak surf with poor conditions. There’s a tiny window on Wednesday the 9th afternoon with a glassy 1 ft swell, but it’s just a knee-high dribble.

The second week is a letdown. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th see a return of some swell, 6 ft to 7 ft, but the wind is strong and cross-shore, making it messy. There’s a marginal window on Friday morning with a 6 ft swell and a cross-off wind, but it’s a last resort.

The true standout is Thursday morning, the 3rd of September. The swell is a solid 6 ft from the WSW, and we have a clean, fresh offshore wind from the South. That’s the best combo on offer. It’s powerful, clean, and will have some proper shape. Get on it.

The other one to keep an eye on is Sunday afternoon, the 6th of September. That 8 ft swell with clean cross-off wind is a heavy-hitter, but it’s only for the experienced crew. If you’re not up for that, stay on the beach.

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.
