Klitmoller Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the same forecast for Klitmoller, but in feet and miles per hour, as it should be.

It’s a slow start, no doubt about it. The first week or so is pretty flat and not worth paddling out for. The energy is just not there. From Sunday the 23rd right through to the end of the month, we’re looking at small, weak, and mostly messy conditions. There’s a bit of a pulse on the 30th with a 5ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is cross-shore and the combined energy is only 253 (moderate), so it’s not going to be any kind of standout. Honestly, the best part of that first week is the glassy, clean conditions on Monday morning the 24th, but with only 3ft of 6-second windswell, it’s not even worth getting the board bag wet.

We've got a solid gap of quiet days here, with nothing really happening until we hit the start of September. The first real event to get excited about is on the 1st of September. The swell is coming in strong, but it’s a bit of a beast. Tuesday morning the 1st shows a 8ft WNW swell, but it’s getting hammered by a fresh cross-onshore wind at 22 mph, making it lumpy. The afternoon is bigger, hitting 10ft with a combined energy of 1220 (strong), but it’s still cross-shore and a little choppy. This is expert territory, well over 8ft, so keep the beginners on the beach.

Now, the standout window is Wednesday the 2nd of September. The morning is where it’s at. We’ve got a solid 10ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is swinging to a cross-offshore direction. The combined energy is a very healthy 1172 (strong). This is the best combination of size and clean conditions we’ll see. The wind is offshore enough to keep the face clean, and that longer period will give the waves some real punch. This is a big day for experienced surfers only. The afternoon cleans up but drops to 6ft, still a decent wave.

The following days back off significantly. Thursday the 3rd drops to a clean but small 3ft, and Friday the 4th sees a 7ft WNW swell with a strong offshore wind from the south at 22 mph, which is a good direction for this spot. That’s a promising one for the more adventurous, with a fresh offshore keeping it clean. After that, it fades out for the remainder of the period with small, choppy, or onshore junk.

So, the pick of the litter is Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September. That’s the one to circle. It’s big, it’s clean, and it’s got the power. The secondary look is Friday morning the 4th, with a clean 7ft offering a decent session before the swell dies.
