Klitmoller Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be real, this 16-day stretch for the Klitmoller zone is a rough one. There’s plenty of water moving, but almost none of it is going to line up for a decent surf. We’re looking at a pattern of onshore junk, cross-shore chop, and weak, crumbly swells. For the first week, in particular, it's gonna be a grind.

It kicks off on Tuesday the 11th with a 8ft northwest swell pushing in, but a strong 28 mph cross-shore wind is gonna shred it to pieces. There’s a lot of energy—that combined reading is 729—but it’s messy and won't hold any shape. It's a battle zone. The rest of that first week is a wasteland. The swell bottoms out by Wednesday the 12th to a tiny 5ft leftover, and we’re left with weak, short-period slop and clean but useless, flat waves. You’ll see a few ankle-biters on the 13th and 14th, but there’s nothing here for a surfer.

We get another pulse over the weekend. Saturday the 16th sees a bump back up to 7ft, but again we get that strong cross-shore wind. The afternoon settles a bit with a better cross-off direction, but the period is a short 7 seconds, leaving it lumpy and unpredictable.

The best of a poor bunch is likely to be Wednesday the 19th. We have a 6ft west-northwest swell, but the period is a weak 6 seconds. The saving grace is a light offshore wind and moderate energy at 271. It’ll be the cleanest we see, especially at the point. It’s not a classic day by any means, but it will be rideable and not a total fight. Friday the 21st offers a similar story with a 6ft to 6ft west-northwest swell and light airs, so that’s another window for a few clean, if unspectacular, waves.

After that, it just dies. The last week, from the 22nd on, drops off a cliff. We're talking tiny, weak, short-period swells mixed with cross-onshore junk. There’s a small offshore bump on the 25th with a 4ft southwest swell, but the energy is low and the period remains short. Don’t hold your breath.

The water is about 63°F, which is pretty standard for this time of year.

Honestly, this is a good window to fix your dings and check your wax supply. The spot itself, a beach and point, isn't the problem. It’s the wind. With the strong cross-shore winds, the setup looks way more fun for the kiteboarding crowd than for us. But things change fast around here, and it never stays this poor for long. Keep the faith.

Rusty.
