Klitmoller Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for our patch of sand and rock.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window starts with a long, frustrating gap. From Wednesday the 19th of August through to Sunday the 23rd, it’s pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at tiny, weak swell with poor conditions and cross or onshore winds. A few waves pop up Friday afternoon, but with 22 mph winds and lumpy 8 ft surf, that’s a messy, blown-out situation best left alone unless you’re on a kite. That swell energy hits 650 (moderate), but it’s not for the paddle crew.

The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Monday the 24th of August. It’s not a classic, but it’s the start of something. The morning at Klitmoller has a clean, cross-off breeze from the west at 9 mph and a 4 ft swell from the WNW with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is 149 (weak), so it’s small and a bit weak. The water temp is about average for the time of year. It’s surfable but very ordinary – maybe good for a cruise on a log or a foiler.

Tuesday the 25th drops right back off to tiny, poor surf, and we sit through another flat spell until the morning of Monday the 31st of August – again, nothing worth writing home about, just small, weak windswell.

Now, here’s where we start to see a glimmer. The standout of the whole run is lining up for Tuesday the 1st of September. The morning looks the pick: a clean, moderate offshore breeze from the SSW at 12 mph, grooming a 4 ft swell from the SW (right out of the optimum direction for Klitmoller). The period is only 7 seconds, but that offshore wind will make it feel way better. The combined energy is 155 (weak), so it’s still not a big day, but it’s the cleanest, most rideable surf we’ve seen in a week. This one’s worth a dawny.

Wednesday the 2nd of September follows up nicely. Morning again looks best: a 5 ft swell from the WSW with a clean, moderate offshore from the south at 16 mph. Energy bumps up to 229 (weak-to-moderate). Again, not huge, but clean and lined up. Could be some fun little walls.

By Thursday the 3rd of September, the wind swings cross-off and the swell drops back, so the window closes again. If you’ve got a window, hit Tuesday morning or Wednesday morning. The long-range stuff is less certain, but it’s promising.

Rusty.
