The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’re in for a tough stretch over the next couple of weeks. The surf window opens up with a few swells, but for the most part, the wind just isn’t playing ball. There’s a pretty long dry spell from the start until things finally start looking interesting near the end of the month.
Klitmoller is the only break on the radar, and honestly, it’s a pretty bleak run for a while. We kick off on Monday the 10th of August with a fresh cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions – not even worth paddling out. That same messy story sticks with us through Tuesday and Wednesday, with strong cross-shore winds and 8ft to 8ft swells from the WNW. The energy is moderate to strong (594 to 912), but the wind messes it up completely. Thursday the 13th gives us a clean window with a light offshore, but the swell is tiny – just 2ft from the W with a short period of 6 seconds. Hardly enough to get excited about.
From Friday the 14th through to Saturday the 22nd, it’s a real flat spell. Most sessions are either flat or come with messy cross-shore winds and weak energy. A few mornings on the 18th and 19th show some clean conditions, but the swell is barely a ripple – 2ft to 2ft. Not worth the wetsuit.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Sunday the 23rd of August, we start to see a pulse. The morning brings 7ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds and a clean cross-offshore wind. The afternoon bumps up to 8ft and strong energy (1046). That’s a big, powerful swell, but it’s a beach-and-point setup here at Klitmoller, and a long period groundswell like this can break a bit straight on the beach. The point might offer some better shape. It’s still marginal in the morning, but by the afternoon, conditions are clean.
The standout though – and the one to really circle on your calendar – is Monday the 24th of August. The morning session is the pick of the entire forecast. We’ve got a clean, light offshore breeze from the SSW, a solid 8ft swell from the WNW with an 8-second period, and strong energy (843). This is a big, powerful wave – definitely one for experienced surfers only, as it’s over the 8ft mark. The water temp is sitting at the usual range for this time of year, nothing unusual. Crowds can show up at Klitmoller sometimes, but on a morning like this with such good conditions, you might want to get in early.
After that, Tuesday the 25th drops off quickly with a much smaller 4ft swell and light cross-onshore wind. Not worth the trip.
So the bottom line: there’s a big gap of no real surf until Sunday the 23rd, and then the real gem is Monday morning the 24th. That’s your best bet by a long shot.
Stay stoked, 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.
