Klitmoller Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The next 16 days around Klitmoller are a real mixed bag – a lot of waiting with very little reward. The first week is quiet, borderline flat, and the conditions are messy. The real standout action is a long way off, so don’t hold your breath just yet.

We start off on Thursday the 16th and it’s pretty grim. Tiny swell, barely a ripple, with onshore winds. Not worth paddling out. Friday the 17th stays small, with a bit of offshore wind in the morning, but the swell is only 0.3 ft – you’re just floating around. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th see a bump in swell, but it’s onshore and messy. Saturday morning has 4 ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is a strong NNE at 19 mph, blowing straight onshore. The wave energy is moderate at 269 (combined energy), but the conditions are poor. Not a clean wave in sight.

Monday the 20th is a tease. Morning has glassy conditions with a light SW wind, but the swell is only 2 ft and weak at 38 (combined energy). It’s clean, but you’re struggling for a ride. The rest of that week stays small and choppy, with winds picking up. By Tuesday the 22nd, the swell pushes to 5 ft, but the wind is cross-shore and fresh. The energy is moderate at 146, but the chop makes it a mess.

Now, the second week. There’s a big gap of nothing from the 24th to the 27th – just wind and tiny waves, not worth a mention. The real standout comes on Tuesday the 28th of July. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The morning delivers a solid 8 ft WNW swell, with a period of 8 seconds, and a light SSE wind at 6 mph blowing cross-offshore. The combined energy is a powerful 843 (strong wave energy). That is clean, punchy, and looking very good. The water temperature is around 64°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’re not freezing. That afternoon, the wind shifts to a light offshore from the SSW, keeping the 8 ft swell clean. This is for experienced surfers only – over 8 ft in the morning. It’s big, powerful, and the setup at Klitmoller (beach and point) should handle it well, though the period is a bit short so expect some dumpy drops. There’s a chance of crowds, so get there early.

After that, the 29th drops off again, and the last few days of the month are back to small, weak, and choppy. You’ve got one shot at a proper session, and it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecast – it could change.
