The Lowdown
Alright, let me break down what we've got coming up over the next couple of weeks.
It's a rough start. The first week is dominated by a lot of wind and chop that'll keep the waves looking shifty and ugly. You're going to have to be patient if you're holding out for something clean.
From the 16th through the 19th, we see some cross-off and a bit of offshore wind, but the swell's all short-period, only 6-8 seconds. That doesn't give you the power or the shape you want. The combined wave energy is moderate, hitting 382 on Wednesday morning and jumping to 904 on Friday afternoon, but it just doesn't come together with the wind. The water temp is about average for this time of the year, so nothing strange there.
The weekend is a total loss. Sunday, September 20th, brings a big swell, 10 to 11 ft, but it's being hammered by a strong cross-shore wind. The wave energy is massive, at 1194 to 1879 – way too much muscle with that wind. That's strictly for experts, and even then, it's going to be a mess of cross-chop. For paddle surfing, it's a no-go. If you're into kite surfing, though, this setup will look a lot more interesting for getting some big air.
After that, it all shuts down. There's a long gap from the 21st to the 24th, with tiny waist-high slop and hardly any energy (down to 18 on the 22nd). There is one small window on the morning of the 24th of September – a clean offshore wind from the south at 15 mph, catching a 2-foot northwest groundswell with a 13-second period, and a combined energy of 105. It's weak, but it's the cleanest you'll see. The rest of that week and into October stays small and mellow, with nothing breaking 5 ft in any decent shape.
The one thing worth noting? Klitmoller (beach and point) on the morning of September 24th. That's the only time the wind is truly offshore (S, 15 mph) and you've got a long-period 13-second swell. It's only 2 ft from the NW, and the combined energy is 105, but it's clean. On a small day like that, crowds are usually manageable. It's the best on offer by a long shot.
After that, it's mostly weak, wind-affected small waves into early October. Not much to get the heart racing.

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.
