The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on Klitmoller for the next 16 days. Let’s get one thing straight – the start is a total bust. From Monday the 24th all the way through Friday the 28th, there’s just nothing doing. Tiny swell, bad wind, you’re better off waxing your board at home. That’s a solid five-day gap of nothing.
The first real sign of life is Saturday the 29th of August. The morning session is the best of the early bunch. We’ve got a clean 4ft of swell coming from the west-southwest with a 8-second period. The wind is blowing offshore from the SSW, which is what we want. The wave energy is moderate at 217, so there’s some push. It’s surfable, but nothing special. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-off breeze, but the swell drops a bit.
Sunday the 30th keeps things going. The morning brings a gentle offshore breeze from the south, with a 3ft west-southwest swell. The energy is still moderate at 143. It’s another day of "alright" surf. The afternoon sees the swell shift to the west and bump up to 3ft, still with an offshore wind. It’s okay, but you’re not going to write home about it.
Then we hit another dry patch. Monday the 31st through to Wednesday the 3rd of September is mostly a washout. The one exception is Thursday afternoon the 3rd, where the wind goes glassy. That’s a huge plus. The swell is 4ft from the west-southwest with a 7-second period, and the energy is moderate at 125. It’s the cleanest the waves will be all period. That’s the day to paddle out and just enjoy the stillness.
The real standout, and the one to watch, is Wednesday the 2nd of September. We’re looking at a solid 7ft swell from the west-northwest, with a 7-second period. The combined energy is a strong 455. That’s a lot of water moving. But – and this is a big but – the wind is a fresh cross-shore, which is going to chop it up badly. It’s a case of "big but messy". This is expert-only territory because of the size, and the wind means it’s going to be a struggle. The afternoon is a bit smaller at 7ft with the same cross-shore wind. For a beach and point setup, this is going to be a battle. Honestly, if the wind stays cross, the kite surfers are going to have a better time than we are.
After that, the surf drops off again. The rest of the first week of September is a mix of small, weak swells and onshore winds, with a few clean moments but nothing to get excited about. The water temp is around 62°F, which is about normal for this time of year.
So, the best bet? It’s a choice between the clean, glassy afternoon on Thursday the 3rd of September for the relaxed vibes, and the raw, powerful but messy Wednesday the 2nd of September for the adrenaline junkies. The 2nd is the big one, but the wind is a real problem. The 3rd is your chance for a clean, uncrowded session. Don’t expect much from the first week.
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.
