The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the Klitmoller stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – we’re looking at a pretty grim start for the next week or so. The first real glimmer of something surfable doesn't pop up until Saturday the 29th of August. Before that, it's a whole lot of wind, lumpy chop, and tiny waves. There's a big pulse of swell showing around Friday the 21st, with waves hitting 8ft to 10ft and the ocean's energy cranking up to a massive 1188, but the wind is just too raw and cross, making it a messy, blown-out mess. Definitely one for the kites out there, not for a paddle.
We really have to wait until Saturday the 29th of August afternoon to get something worthwhile. That's when things finally line up. We've got a clean 7ft of swell rolling in from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds. The wind goes light and cross-off, which will put a nice face on those waves at this beach and point setup. The water is sitting at a comfortable 63°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
If you're looking for the standout, that Saturday afternoon is your window. It’s not a monster, but after all that flat and windy junk, a clean 7ft with light offshore wind is a gift. Don't expect it to be empty, either – this place can get a few heads out when it's good, so be ready to share.
The next day, Sunday the 30th morning, is a close second. It's a touch smaller at 7ft but still with that clean, cross-off wind. It's a solid backup if you miss the peak of Saturday.
So, in short: don't bother for the first 13 days unless you're into getting sandblasted. Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th are your best bet for some fun, clean waves.
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.
