The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, and I’m telling you the same story in feet and miles, because the waves still aren’t coming.
This is a rough 16-day outlook for Kijkduin. Honestly, there isn't a single session worth paddling out for. The whole stretch is a flat, choppy mess. Not one standout. Just a long, drawn-out blank run that’s pretty normal for this area in summer when the pressure sets in.
The water is 69° – that’s a massive 8° warmer than average for July. Very unusual, but doesn’t help the waves one bit.
Let’s walk through the misery. Tuesday 14th and Wednesday 15th are tiny windswell, 2ft to 3ft from the north, but the wind is cross-shore, ruining any chance of a wave. The swell energy is weak, barely ticking over at 52. Poor surf. Thursday 16th through Saturday 18th? Same thing. Waves from 1ft to 4ft, short period of 4 to 6 seconds, and the wind is cross-on or onshore. You’d be wasting your time.
Sunday 19th and Monday 20th see a bump in energy to about 4ft and an 8-second period, with the combined energy hitting 196 (moderate). But the wind swings hard onshore from the NW at 22 to 25 mph. That’s not surf – that’s kiteboarding conditions. Blown-out and lumpy. For beginners, 4ft is a bit much anyway, but with that onshore breeze, it’s a hard pass for everyone.
From Tuesday 21st all the way to Wednesday 29th, it’s a total flat spell. Waves from 0.7ft to 3ft of weak, short-period slop. There’s one brief moment of glassy conditions on Friday 24th morning, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft with nearly no energy (6). You can’t surf nothing.
On Wednesday 29th, the wind finally turns offshore and clean. But the swell has completely died: 0.7ft in the morning and 2ft in the arvo with a 4-second period. Clean but flat.
So there it is. Kijkduin is an exposed beach and jetty joint that needs a solid north or northwesterly groundswell to fire. We get the direction but not the power, and the wind is almost always against us. No good options in this window. It’s a dry spell, and for here, that’s just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can change, but right now, stay home.
Rusty.

Information about the Kijkduin Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Kijkduin provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kijkduin can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kijkduin 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 (Kijkduin) 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 Kijkduin 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.
