The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, switching to feet and miles for you. Let's talk about what's cookin' for our little slice of coast.
Right now, we’re in a bit of a dry spell. There’s nothing worth paddling out for on the immediate horizon. The first real glimmer of something happens on the afternoon of Saturday the 16th, but honestly, the combination of a messy 8 ft swell and a strong cross-shore wind makes it a total write-off. The good news is, it’s not gonna stay flat forever.
We've got a long gap with nothing but junk through the start of the week. The wind is just relentless, mostly howling from the WNW, and when the swell does pop up on the 16th and 17th, it's got that short, choppy 7-second period and the wind is just tearing it to pieces. This is one of those stretches where the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, with that strong cross-shore wind.
The next chance we get is on Saturday the 22nd. Again, it’s a tricky one. You’ve got a decent 8 ft to 8 ft swell from the WNW, but it's still a short-period swell at 7 seconds. The wind is a cross-off, which is a big positive for keeping things relatively clean. It’s a marginal call, but that cross-off wind makes it the first real possible window if you're jonesing.
The real standout, and the one you want to circle on your calendar, is Friday the 28th. That morning we’re looking at a proper 10 ft groundswell from the NW with a longer 8-second period. For a spot like Klitmoller, a beach and point setup, a swell this size (over 8 ft) is definitely for experienced surfers only. The wind is a clean cross-off from the west at just 9 mph, which is almost ideal. This is your best shot in the whole forecast, but remember it's over a week away, so keep your fingers crossed for the models to hold.
All in all, we’ve got a lot of windy, messy days to sit through, but that Friday the 28th has some real promise.
Stay stoked,
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.
