The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Klitmoller over the next couple of weeks.
It’s a frustrating start, to be honest. For the first week, the waves are either tiny, wind-chopped, or just plain messy. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions from the 4th right through to the 10th of August. Early on, the wind is all over the place, and the combined swell energy is weak to moderate at best, struggling to get past 18 (all that’s kicking around is 1 to 8 feet of short-period junk). The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The one real standout, and it’s worth waiting for, is Tuesday 11th August. The morning session at Klitmoller is a total beast. We’re looking at a solid 12 feet swell from the NW. That’s proper groundswell with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a massive 1597 – that’s serious power. The wind is light and offshore from the SE, which means the lines will be clean. But listen, this is a big one. At 12 feet, this is strictly for experienced surfers only. Beginners, stay on the sand. The cross-offshore wind keeps it rideable, but it’s a heavy, powerful ocean out there.
The afternoon of the 11th gets messy with onshore winds, so don’t expect that morning session to last. Wednesday 12th August morning offers a drop back to a more manageable 8 feet from the NW. The wind is light and cross-offshore again, and the combined energy is still a strong 606. It’s a good consolation prize, but not quite the epic of the day before.
After that, the swell starts to fade. The 13th offers some small, ordinary waves (5 feet from the WNW, energy 154), and from the 14th onwards it’s back to tiny, weak surf with a lot of cross-shore wind. The period drops right off, and the energy just disappears. The 18th and 19th show a late pulse of big swell (10 feet and 12 feet), but with the wind being cross-off or cross, and the combined energy being huge (972 and 1969), it’s more of a “wait and see” scenario for the experts. It’s a mixed bag for the end of the window.
So, to keep it simple: your best bet is the morning of Tuesday 11th August. Get out there early if you’ve got the skill. Wednesday 12th morning is your fallback.
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.
