Table - best surf conditions forecast for Kijkduin over the next 16 days.
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s be real about the next couple of weeks at Kijkduin. It’s a pretty flat and frustrating stretch overall, with a lot of small, wind-affected waves and very little to get excited about. The water is a balmy 68°F though, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least the paddle out won't be a shock.
We’re looking at a long, barren gap right from the start. From Thursday the 9th of July all the way through to Sunday the 19th of July, the surf is just rubbish. You’ll see tiny waves, mostly under 3ft, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-shore, making everything messy and choppy. The combined energy is weak (mostly under 70), and the short periods around 4 to 7 seconds mean the waves are just weak and crumbly. There’s nothing to recommend here.
The run of poor conditions finally breaks on Monday the 20th of July. The morning offers a bit of hope with a clean, 3ft swell from the NNW, period of 6 seconds, and a light offshore wind from the S at 3 mph. The combined energy is still low (56), and the description says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It’s not a stand-out, but it’s the first clean waves we’ve seen. The afternoon gets messy again with onshore wind.
Then we get a long wait until the 24th of July. On Friday the 24th of July, the swell finally shows some life. The morning brings a 8ft swell from the W, period of 7 seconds, with a clean onshore wind from the NNW at 9 mph. The combined energy jumps to 539 (moderate wave energy), but the direction is onshore and the period is short. It’s described as "marginal" and will be too big for beginners. The afternoon drops to 6ft with 247 combined energy, still onshore. This is the only real pulse of size in the whole forecast, but the wind is not your friend.
So, the honest truth: there are no true standouts in this 16-day window. The best you’ll find is a brief, clean window on the morning of the 20th for a tiny wave, or a larger but wind-affected swell on the 24th that’s for experts only. If you’re desperate, the 20th morning is the most surfable option, but it’s a long way off.
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.
