The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a good long look at what we've got coming down the line for Klitmoller.
Right off the bat, it's a pretty grim start. We've got tiny, weak waves with messy winds for the first few days. The water's sitting at 62°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there. Honestly, you're looking at a solid dead spell from now all the way through to the end of August. Don't bother paddling out for that.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Friday the 28th of August. We'll see a small pulse of 3ft swell from the east with a short period of 4 seconds, but the wind is clean, coming from the southeast. It's nothing to write home about, but it's the first thing that's not a total write-off.
Then things get interesting. Saturday the 29th of August kicks off with nothing, but the afternoon brings a bit of size. You've got 4ft of swell from the WSW with a moderate energy of 121, and cleaner winds. It's building.
Sunday the 30th of August is where it starts to get real. The morning sees 6ft from the SW, with fresh offshore winds howling out of the SSW. That's going to be clean but big – over 5ft, so it's getting a bit much for beginners. The combined energy is a solid 332, so there's some proper push behind it. The afternoon stays clean, with 6ft coming from the WSW.
Monday the 31st of August is a bit of a letdown after that. The morning offers some surfable, but very ordinary, waves at 2ft from the SW. The wind is light, which is nice, but the energy is low at 113. Still, it's the first day with a 1 out of 10, so it's technically surfable.
We then hit another dry spell. Nothing worth mentioning on the 1st of September – just strong winds and tiny junk.
Now, the first true standout, and the one I’ve got my eye on, is Wednesday the 2nd of September. The forecast is calling for a thumping 12ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period. The combined wave energy is absolutely pumping at 2053. However, the guidance tells us the break is rated for beginners, and this is well over 8ft. This is deep water. It's almost certainly too big for most, and only for experts. The wind is a clean cross-off from the southwest, but the sheer size is the story here. For a spot that's fairly exposed to the west-southwest, the direction is good, but the volume of water will be intense.
After that, the swell backs off again. Thursday the 3rd is flat. Friday the 4th of September brings back a manageable 5ft from the west, with clean winds and a moderate energy of 212. That's a much more comfortable size, but nothing to travel for.
The second week is a mixed bag. The next real event is on Monday the 7th of September afternoon, with 6ft from the southwest and fresh offshore winds. The energy is 371, so it's got some punch. It's marked as marginal, but clean and with some size.
Then, get this – Tuesday the 8th of September is another massive one. A 13ft swell from the WNW, with a very long period of 11 seconds. The energy is an enormous 3703. Again, the guidance says this is a beginner break, and 13ft is way, way too big. This is a day for watching, not paddling. It’s a groundswell with a long period, so at a beach and point setup like Klitmoller, those sets will be long, powerful, and breaking very straight. Expert-only territory for sure.
The outlook then fades out into the second week with some moderate swells, but the consistency drops and the winds get messy. The window that looks best overall, considering everything, is actually the Sunday the 30th of August swell. It's big, but it's the first properly clean, powerful swell of the period that isn't oversize for the break's typical crowd. If you're an experienced surfer, that Sunday morning with fresh offshore winds and 6ft from the southwest is your best bet. It’s the one that stands out as the most balanced between size, power, and clean conditions before things go absolutely mental in September.
Stay stoked, but pick your days wisely.

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.
