Klitmoller Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of blown-out, cross-shore slop and energy that’s just not lining up. It’s going to be a waiting game.

The first real chance of anything decent doesn't show up until Monday the 24th. That’s a solid stretch of over a week with nothing worth getting wet for. Before that, we're looking at a lot of wind-affected chop and short-period windswell that’s just not going to give you anything clean.

Monday the 10th kicks off with a Westerly breeze and a messy 8ft of cross-shore slop. That’s a no-go. The next few days stay in that vein – strong breezes, cross-shore winds, and a bumpy ocean. We do see some energy bump up on the 15th and 16th with 6-8ft of swell, but the wind is either a near gale or strong cross-off. It’s going to be a kite-surfing show, not a surfing one. The wave period is only around 6-8 seconds, so it's all that short-period, fat, and gutless stuff.

The morning of the 17th has a bit more size at 8ft but it’s still just a marginal call. Then the wind switches around from the West-Northwest and we get another dose of cross-shore crumble through the 19th and 20th. By the 21st and 22nd, the swell drops right out to under 3ft. You’re looking at dribble.

Now, let's talk about the one bright spot. The morning of Monday the 24th. We finally see a window. The wind goes light and offshore from the Southwest at Klitmoller. The swell is a solid 7ft from the West-Northwest, with a combined energy reading of 336. That’s moderate energy, and the light breeze will keep the surface clean. This is the standout. It’s the most promising day on the whole forecast. The water temp is around 62°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing too crazy there.

For the afternoon, the swell holds at 6ft but a moderate cross-off breeze kicks in and the tide might mess with it a bit. It’s still worth a look, but the morning is your best bet.

After that, the wind picks up again on Tuesday the 25th, and we’re back to the same old story of strong cross-shore winds and no good surf. It’s a pretty bleak outlook, but when the North Sea is like this, it can change fast. Keep an eye on that Monday morning window – it's the only real chance you’re getting for a while.

Rusty.
