The Lowdown
Right, Rusty here, and I’ll give it to you straight in feet and miles per hour. This stretch at Egmond aan Zee is a tough one.
We’re looking at a solid 16-day window and there’s barely a sniff of decent surf. It’s all poor conditions, lumpy water, and bad wind. From the get-go on Friday the 28th of August, it’s a weak 3-foot WSW swell with a short period and weak energy (39). The wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the SW at 19 mph, so it’s choppy and messy. Water temp is 68°, which is about 4° warmer than usual – weird, but not helping the surf.
Saturday the 29th sees a bump to 5 feet from the WSW, but a fresh cross-onshore wind at 22 mph spoils it. Combined energy hits 231 (moderate), but quality is poor. Sunday and Monday keep the same theme: onshore wind and poor conditions.
Monday the 31st of August brings the biggest swell of the whole outlook – 6 feet from the SW, with a combined energy of 327 (moderate-strong). But again, a fresh cross-onshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms. For a beach break like Egmond aan Zee, this is looking more like kite-surfing weather than paddle surfing.
Then we roll into September with tiny swells – Tuesday the 1st has just 3 feet and weak energy (54). The wind is onshore, but the waves are too weak and short period to bother with. Wednesday the 2nd is 5 feet from the WNW with onshore wind, but still not clean.
Honestly, the whole first week is a dud. There is no standout session. Even when the wind calms on Sunday the 6th of September, the swell drops to a tiny 2 feet, and it’s just light cross-onshore ripples. The last few days into the second week (10th to 12th September) show some bigger swells, like a 5-foot NNW swell on Saturday the 12th with a combined energy of 331, but it’s wrecked by a moderate cross-onshore wind and the same poor conditions.
No recommendations here, mate. This area can have long blank spells when the wind sets in, and that’s what we’ve got. Forecasts might change, but for now, leave the board at home.
Rusty.
