The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve gotta level with you. The outlook for Klitmoller over the next 16 days is a pretty tough read, honestly. The models are showing a long stretch with very little to get excited about, and for the best part of the first week and a half, there’s nothing worth paddling out for.

We’ve got a real dry spell from now through to late in the month. The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until the early hours of Tuesday, August 25th. That’s over a week of flat, messy, or just plain bad conditions to sit through. So, fair warning: patience is the name of the game here.

Let’s talk about that Tuesday morning, August 25th. It looks like the most promising moment in this whole 16-day run. Klitmoller (a beach and point setup) should see some small, clean waves with the wind going glassy. The swell will be a tiny 5 ft from the NE, so it’s really about the conditions being as good as they can be. The energy is weak (94), but with the water temp sitting at 63°, which is about normal for this time of year, and that glassy surface, it might just be a special, quiet session for a handful of early birds. The crowds are listed as “sometimes” so keep your fingers crossed you catch a lull.

The rest of that day and the days after don't hold up. That Tuesday afternoon sees the wind shift to a cross-onshore, and the following days just get messy again with cross-shore winds and lumpy, choppy seas. We see some bigger swell energy pop up around the 20th to the 21st of August, with readings between 406 and 679, but it’s all accompanied by strong cross-shore winds, making it a complete mess. That kind of setup, with beach break conditions and strong cross-wind, would be way more interesting for a kite surfer than a guy on a paddle board. The waves will be there, but you won't want to be in them.

So, to sum it up: sit tight for a week. Focus on that glassy Tuesday morning, August 25th. It won't be big, but it could be perfect. Keep an eye on the forecasts – a week out is always a bit of a gamble.

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.
