The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. I’m looking at Klitmoller, a beach and point set-up that’s fairly exposed to the swell. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The honest truth is, the first week and a half is a real struggle. We’ve got a proper gap of no surf worth talking about from Saturday, the 18th, right through to Thursday, the 30th of July. The swell that shows up is nearly always battling strong onshore or cross-shore winds, and the guidance is telling me the conditions are just poor. It’s a lot of chop and lumpy mess, not the kind of thing you’d paddle out for. The wave energy is weak to moderate at best, like on the 18th where we saw 485 (moderate energy) but ruined by a 12 mph cross-on wind. The swell direction is mostly NW or WNW, which is a bit off the optimum WSW for this spot.
The only real standout, and it’s a late one, comes on the morning of Friday, the 31st of July. It’s a bit of a borderline call, but it’s the best we’ve got. The wind is light from the WNW at 6 mph, which is just a light cross-shore, and the swell is 7 ft at 7 seconds from the WNW. The combined energy is a solid 425 (moderate). Now, that’s a solid 7 ft, so it’s getting into expert territory. It’s a short period swell, so the waves will be a bit dumpy and inconsistent, but the light wind means it won’t be blown out. It’s a beach and point, so the short period might make it a bit tricky, but it’s the only shot at something half-decent in the whole window.
The rest of the second week is a write-off, with strong cross-shore winds and messy conditions. The Sunday morning of the 2nd of August shows a huge 10 ft swell with 966 energy (strong), but it’s getting smashed by a 22 mph cross-shore wind. That’s a kite surfer’s dream, not a paddle surfer’s. If you’re an expert and you’re desperate, the 31st morning is your one window. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.

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.
