The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve pulled the Klitmoller report. Let’s get into it.
Water temp is 63°, which is normal for the time of year – no surprises.
But the outlook is rough. The 16-day window starts with a big dry spell. Saturday the 15th shows some size – 8ft of WNW swell – but the wind is screaming from the WNW at 25 mph, and it’s a messy cross-shore. The wave energy is moderate to strong at 527, but the quality is poor. That’s a washing machine, not a surf session. That pattern holds through Monday the 18th, with strong breezes and lumpy, cross-shore chop. No good.
The whole thing goes quiet from Tuesday the 19th afternoon all the way through the end of the month. Days of flat spells or tiny, weak pulses. The energy readings drop to double digits, like 43 or 27, and swell heights are under 3ft. The wind does go offshore or cross-offshore a few times, but there’s no swell to work with.
There’s one weird blip at the end. On Sunday the 30th, the wind slams in from the NE at 31 mph with a 7ft swell from the WSW, and the energy jumps to 434. That’s a near-gale, cross-onshore, blown-out mess. The setup is a beach and point, so with that much wind, it’s looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddling. Not a standout for a surfer.
So, the hard truth: no good surf in this 16-day window. It’s flat, windy, or blown out. For Klitmoller, a blank run can happen, but it usually doesn’t stay poor for long. Keep watching.
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.
