The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening for the Klitmoller stretch over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, the first week is a rough one. The water is a warm 65°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but the swell and wind just aren’t playing ball. We’ve got a decent pulse of energy on Wednesday morning – combined wave energy of 452 – but it’s a messy 6ft swell out of the WNW with a short 8-second period, and a nasty 35 km/h north wind chopping it up. Not a single wave worth paddling for.
Thursday morning the 23rd looks clean with a light offshore, but the swell is tiny at 4ft and the period is still short. It’s just not got the push. Friday the 24th brings a bigger, lumpy 8ft NW swell (energy 554), but the wind is a cross-onshore mess. By Friday afternoon the wind goes clean cross-off, but the swell disappears entirely. That kind of tease is just cruel.
The weekend doesn’t save us either. Saturday the 25th has clean conditions but the swell is dropping fast – 3ft and 2ft. Sunday the 26th sees a big jump: 8ft WNW swell (637 energy) in the morning, and by the afternoon it’s a powerful 10ft (energy 1363). That’s a legit swell, but the wind is strong cross-off at 30-35 km/h. The period is only 7-8 seconds, so it’s a bit of a washing machine. Only for the experienced crew, and honestly, with that much wind, it’s gonna be a battle. After that, Monday the 27th is a write-off with 45 km/h winds.
The only glimmer of hope in the first week comes on Wednesday the 29th. Morning has a light southerly offshore breeze at 10 km/h, and a 4ft, 7-second WSW swell. The combined energy is low at 113, and the report calls it “surfable but very ordinary”. It’s the best on offer, but that’s not saying much. It’s a small, clean wave for a beginner session, but nothing to get excited about.
The second week is a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s one standout that might be worth keeping an eye on. Monday the 3rd of August looks promising. Morning brings a 8ft WNW swell (energy 887) with a 30 km/h cross-off westerly wind. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a bit short for that size, but it’s clean. That’s a solid, powerful wave for the experts. For a regular punter, it’s a bit big and punchy. The afternoon drops to 7ft, still clean, but still a big wave.
The rest of the second week fades out. Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th see the swell shrink back to under 3ft, with weak energy and cross-shore winds. By Thursday the 6th, we’re scraping the bottom with a 0.7ft NW swell and a 0.3ft NW groundswell with a 14-second period. That’s a long-period ghost swell – it’ll look glassy but there’s almost nothing to ride.
If you’re looking for the best window, it’s a toss-up between the small, clean Wednesday the 29th for a beginner session, or the big, powerful Monday the 3rd of August for the experts. I’d be waiting for that Monday, but keep an eye on the wind – a shift could mess it up. For the rest, it’s a long stretch of flat or messy water. Not our finest forecast.
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.
