The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days for Kijkduin are a proper struggle. We’ve got a long, flat stretch of poor surf conditions ahead. The only two windows that even register as “surfable but very ordinary” are the morning of Thursday the 10th and the afternoon of Sunday the 20th. That’s a big gap of nearly a week and a half where you’re better off doing something else.

The first bit of hope shows up on Thursday morning, September 10th. It’s tiny, with a swell of just 2ft from the NNW, but the wind is light and from the S, blowing cross-offshore. That’s about as clean as it gets around here. The water is sitting at a notable 68°F – that’s over 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not even need a winter suit. The combined energy is weak (58), and the period is short (8 seconds), so it’s going to be small, weak, and a bit on the fat side. It’s a good paddle for a beginner or a longboarder, but don’t expect anything to get your heart pumping.

Then we have a long, dry spell of nothing. Westerly winds, chop, and tiny waves dominate the charts until we get to the afternoon of Sunday, September 20th. The swell picks up to 4ft from the N, with a period of 6 seconds (short period windswell), and the wind finally goes light and cross-offshore from the S again. The combined energy jumps to moderate (112), so there’s a bit more push. It’s still not great – the wave comment says “very ordinary conditions” – but it’s the best of a bad bunch. The swell direction is N, and the optimum for Kijkduin is NNW, so it’s close enough to be workable but not ideal. This is the only session that might be worth a look if you’re desperate, but keep expectations low.

Bottom line: don’t drive out of your way for the next two weeks. If you’re local, the Thursday morning session is the only clean option, and the Sunday afternoon swell is the only one with any real size. Neither is a standout.

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.
