Klitmoller Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at the Danish surf scene at Klitmoller for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The first couple of days are a write-off. Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd are looking pretty grim with strong, nasty winds. We get a bit of swell on the 22nd, a 7ft NW swell (528 combined energy), but the wind is just trashing it. You can feel the frustration in the data.

The window starts to crack open a little on Thursday morning the 23rd. We get a clean 3ft WNW swell with a light offshore wind from the NNE. The combined energy is weak though (140). It's a small, clean option for the beginners, but nothing to write home about. The water is much warmer than usual for this time of year.

Friday the 24th sees a jump in size with a 7ft WNW swell (403 combined energy) but it's a short period 7-second wind swell, and the wind is a strong 22 mph cross-off. It's going to be a battle. The afternoon flatlines into nothing.

There's a big gap from Saturday the 25th all the way through Tuesday the 29th. We get a few pulses of swell, but the wind is all over the place. Sunday the 27th has a near gale, Monday the 28th has a 7ft swell (312 combined energy) but with a strong cross-shore wind. The quality is just not there. It's a frustrating stretch of "poor surf conditions" across the board.

The first real standout is Saturday morning, August 1st. This is a full week away, so keep that in mind. It's a small 2ft NW swell (119 combined energy), but the wind is a light offshore from the SSW, and the comment says "clean". The score is a 1 out of 10, but compared to the desert around it, this is a drink of water. At Klitmoller (Denmark), on a beach and point setup, a clean morning with any swell is a winner. It's likely to be crowded, but when it's been this poor, everyone will be out.

After that, from Sunday the 2nd of August onward, it goes completely flat. Swell drops to 0.3ft and then to zero. The winds are okay, but there's no wave energy to work with. The combined energy values are down in the single digits. It’s a dead end.

So, here’s the bottom line: The best of a bad bunch is Saturday morning, August 1st. It's a gamble, but a clean, small morning with a light offshore wind is the only thing that looks surfable. Everything else is either too windy, too messy, or just plain flat. Don't hold your breath for the rest of the window.

Rusty.
