Klitmoller Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s coming up for Klitmoller over the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, the start of this forecast is a bit of a write-off. We've got a few days of messy conditions and lumpy wind that just aren't going to deliver the goods. Hang tight though, because there's a window that looks worth getting excited about later on.

The first proper chance to get wet won't come until Tuesday, the 8th of September. Tuesday morning offers a tiny 1ft swell from the northwest with a very long period of 15 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy but combined energy is weak (74). It's clean with a gentle offshore breeze, but the waves themselves are small and the very long period means the sets will be few and far between at a beach and point setup like Klitmoller.

We've got a bit more to work with on Wednesday the 9th. The morning sees 5ft from the WSW with a moderate offshore wind, and the swell energy ticks up (253). By Wednesday afternoon, it gets better: 5ft from the WSW with gentle offshore winds and moderate wave energy (326). This is one of the better-looking windows, with clean conditions and some push.

Thursday the 10th looks like a mess. The swell builds to 6ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon, but the wind swings onshore and cross-shore, making things lumpy and choppy. Combined energy jumps to 698 in the afternoon, so there's plenty of power, but it's not for paddling.

Friday the 11th drops right off – small, weak waves and not worth the effort. Saturday the 12th brings back size with 8ft from the WNW but strong cross-winds kill the quality. It's messy out there.

Now, if you can wait, the real standout looks like Tuesday the 15th of September. Tuesday morning gives us 6ft from the WSW with a moderate offshore wind, and the combined energy is a solid 379. The afternoon pushes up to 7ft from the WNW with fresh offshore wind (432 combined energy). That's proper, punchy surf with clean conditions and decent consistency. It's a touch too big for beginners in the afternoon, but for the rest of you, this is the one to circle on the calendar. The swell direction is a good match for the spot's optimum WSW direction.

After that, things fade again. There's a small window on Thursday the 17th with 4ft from the west and moderate offshore wind, but it's nothing to write home about.

Overall, the best bet is the Wednesday the 9th afternoon and especially Tuesday the 15th. Water temp is sitting around 62°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you won't need the thickest rubber. Crowds can pop up at Klitmoller when it's good, so expect company on those better days.

Stay patient, and I'll see you in the water.
