The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. The North Sea is not exactly turning it on for us, and for Klitmoller, the next week and a half is pretty much a write-off. There are some hopeful signs right at the edge of the forecast, but we have to be patient.

First up, the water is sitting around 63°, which is about 1° warmer than usual for this time of year – feels about normal, nothing crazy.

The whole stretch from Tuesday the 18th right through to Monday the 31st of August is a real struggle. There’s barely any swell to speak of, and when there is a little bump, the wind is usually stuffing it up. The morning of Thursday the 21st sees a spike in wave energy, with a combined energy reading of 759, and a solid 8ft swell from the WNW, but it’s arriving with a strong cross-shore wind of 28 mph, making for a messy, choppy mess. That afternoon, the energy hits 782, but the wind is still a strong 25 mph. That’s not surfable for a paddle board; that sort of setup is more interesting for the kite surfers. The same goes for the morning of Friday the 22nd, with a 5ft swell and 19 mph winds – it’s just not clean enough.

The one bright spot, and it’s a long way off, is the morning of Tuesday the 1st of September. We finally get a little clean surf. The wind is offshore from the SSW at 16 mph, and there’s a 5ft swell from the east with a period of only 5 seconds. The combined energy is 134, so there’s some push, but the short period means it’s going to be a bit weak and crumbly. Still, it’s the only thing on the whole forecast that’s even surfable, so if you’re desperate, that’s your window. It’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it.

Before that, Monday the 24th of August has a glassy morning with no wind, but the swell is only 0.3ft, so there’s nothing to ride.

Overall, it’s a tough outlook. Klitmoller is usually fairly consistent, but this is one of those blank runs that happens. Forecasts can change, but for now, don’t plan a trip.

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.
