The Lowdown

Alright folks, let’s take a look at what’s happening here at Kijkduin. Rain or shine, I’m here to tell it straight.

Looking at the next couple of weeks, I've got to be honest with you – it’s a grim stretch on the horizon. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window with no surf worth paddling out for. That’s a long blank run, and for this area, it’s not totally out of the ordinary, but it still stings.

Starting off this Thursday, the 16th, it’s looking messy. We've got a tiny 2 ft windswell from the north, but with a short, weak period of only 5 seconds and a nasty cross-onshore breeze, the wave energy is a pathetic 11. It’s just not going to happen. Conditions stay poor through the rest of the week. On Friday the 17th, we get a slight bump to 4 ft from the NNW, but the onshore wind is up to 15 mph, making it lumpy and unappealing. The wave energy climbs a bit, but it’s still poor quality.

The weekend brings a little more swell. Saturday the 18th sees 5 ft from the NNW, and the combined energy gets into the moderate zone at 161, but it’s just not clean. The onshore winds are persistent, churning it up. Sunday the 19th is a similar story, with 4 ft swell but a cross-onshore wind that keeps it choppy.

We roll into the next week, and it’s more of the same. Monday the 20th through Wednesday the 22nd offer some swell around 5 ft, but the wind is either cross-onshore or onshore, and the wave comment is consistently “poor surf conditions.” The energy is moderate, but the quality is missing.

Things get a bit lighter towards the end of the month. On Saturday the 25th, we get a brief moment of clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze from the south, but the swell is only 2 ft with a weak 6-second period. It’s clean, but there’s just no power in the water. The energy is only 30. It’s a tease.

The final stretch from the 26th to the 31st is a write-off. We’re looking at a mix of onshore winds and tiny, weak swells. The energy drops down to single digits, and you’ll be lucky to find a wave bigger than your ankle. For the kite surfers, there might be something to play with on Sunday the 26th when the wind cranks up to 25 mph, but for us paddle surfers, it's a hard pass.

So, there’s no standout, no hidden gem, no best of the bunch. The best advice I can give is to keep an eye on the charts, because it tends not to stay this poor for long. But for now, we’re sitting this one out.

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.

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.
