The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s on the cards for Klitmoller.
First off, I gotta be straight with you—this stretch is looking pretty grim for a while. The surf window is basically shut from the start of the weekend up until Monday the 24th of August. That’s a few days with nothing worth paddling out for. The wind’s all over the place, mainly onshore or cross, and the swell is weak with combined energy barely ticking over (281 on Saturday). So, save your energy.
Monday the 24th is where things start to look a little less hopeless. We’ve got a small, clean morning with the wind swinging offshore from the SE at just 6 mph. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the NW, period is short at 7 seconds, and combined energy is weak at 71. It’s not gonna set the world on fire, but for a quiet session with the board under your arm, it’s the first real chance. The water temp is about 62°, which is normal for this time of year.
Things get a bit more interesting heading into the very end of August and early September. Now, I’m looking at Monday the 31st of August. Morning is the standout here. We’ve got a clean, cross-off wind from the SSE at 9 mph. The swell jumps to 7ft from the SSW, period at 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 548—moderate but legit. That’s a solid size for Klitmoller, but at over 6ft, this is for experienced surfers only. The wind is tidy, so it’ll hold shape on the point. Keep an eye on the tide for that session.
Then, Tuesday the 1st of September is worth a mention. Offshore wind from the SSW holds all day, around 18-22 mph. Swell sits around 5ft from the WSW and W, with energy around 254-286. It’s gonna be clean and groomed, but the fresh wind will be strong. Not the best for beginners, but for anyone who can handle a stiff breeze, there’ll be some lined-up runners.
And for a longer-term look, the 5th and 6th of September show some bigger swell potential. Saturday the 5th has 7 to 8ft swell from the WSW and W, with combined energy up to 715—that’s strong. The wind is cross-off, keeping it clean. This is expert territory. The 6th looks similar, around 8-8ft from the WNW, energy at 672. Both mornings are cleaner than the afternoons. But remember, this is a week and a half out, so the details could shift.
Overall, the best of the bunch is the morning of Monday the 31st of August. Get it if you can. It’s the only time in this whole run where the size, wind, and conditions really line up for a proper session.
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.
