Klitmoller Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Klitmoller's got cookin' over the next couple weeks. I gotta be straight with you – it's a bit of a rough patch on the whole. We've got a lot of wind and messy conditions on the menu before we see any real light at the end of the tunnel.

First off, the water's sitting at a balmy 64° – that's a good five and a half degrees warmer than you'd usually expect for the start of July. Proper tropical for Denmark, that one.

The first week is a write-off for a decent paddle. From Friday the 3rd right through to Sunday the 5th of July, we're getting smacked with near-gale and strong breeze winds from the WNW, kicking up a right mess. Swell heights are there – we're talking 13 ft to 15 ft with a massive 4153 combined energy on Friday morning – but the cross-shore wind chops it all up. Forget it. Monday the 6th settles a touch, but the swell drops badly and the energy is weak (63 to 288). That pattern just keeps repeating: a bit of swell, a gust of wind, messy cross-chop. A real shame.

Then we hit a proper lull. From Friday the 10th right through to Friday the 17th of July, there's nothing worth talking about. We're talking knee-high dribble at best, with combined energy figures barely scraping into double digits (3 to 66). There's a glassy morning on Sunday the 12th, but with a 1.0 ft swell and 10-second period from the NW, you'd be better off with a flat-water paddle.

Now, here's the one glimmer. Look towards the end of the run, on Saturday the 18th of July. The morning session sees a 6 ft NW swell (8 second period) with a light offshore breeze from the south – that's clean. The energy is moderate at 368. Then the afternoon looks like the pick of the whole forecast: a 6 ft NW groundswell (8 second period) with a light offshore breeze from the south-west providing clean faces, and the combined energy jumps to 485. It’s still a beach and point setup, so that longer period will hold up better on the point to the south-west.

That Saturday afternoon slot is the standout. It's not going to be huge, but it'll be the cleanest, most surfable waves we see in this whole 16-day window. Crowds are possible at Klitmoller on the weekends, so be ready to share.

So, a grim start, a flat middle, and a little reward if you're patient for that Saturday the 18th. Keep an eye on it.

Rusty.
