The Lowdown
Grab a coffee, let's look at what's on offer for the The Hague stretch, focusing on Kijkduin. It's a bit of a waiting game, if I'm honest.
Right off the bat, we're looking at a rough start. The winds are mostly cross-onshore to onshore and the swell is all short-period windswell. The wave energy is weak to moderate (103), but the quality is just poor. This pattern holds for the first week and a half, from the 30th of August right through until the afternoon of September 6th. That's a long, bleak stretch. We get one brief glimmer on the afternoon of the 6th of September with a glassy session, but the swell is tiny at 3 ft from the WSW with a period of only 5 seconds – surfable, but very ordinary.
The real standout, and the only one worth waiting for, is on Friday morning the 11th of September. We finally get some proper wind direction, a moderate offshore breeze from the SSE, and the break is reported as clean. The swell is a small 3.3 ft from the West with a short period of 5 seconds, so the wave energy is weak (49), but it's clean – and after all that wind, clean is what we want.
Later that afternoon on the 11th, the wind turns cross-offshore with a gentle breeze, staying clean with 3.6 ft swell from the West. It's not going to be big, but for a wave starved stretch, this is your window. It’s fairly consistent here normally, but this is a real lull. The Saturday the 12th of September sees a jump in energy with strong energy (746) and size hitting 8.2 ft from the WSW, but with a 18-25 mph cross-offshore wind, it’s not a paddle session—that's more a kite-surfing setup.
One thing to note – this is the Netherlands, so the water temp is what you'd expect for the time of year.
Looks like a lot of waiting for that Friday, folks.

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.
