Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what’s happening at Kijkduin over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long run of poor surf conditions with very little to get excited about. The water is sitting at 68°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s really unusual and means a warm dip is guaranteed, but the waves just aren’t cooperating.
The first real glimmer of something surfable isn’t until Friday the 17th of July. Most of the time before that, from Monday the 6th right through Thursday the 16th, the swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the forecast notes “poor surf conditions” for every single session. There’s a gap of nearly two weeks where you’d be better off staying at home. The combined energy is mostly in the double digits, way below 100, just weak, weak stuff.
On Friday the 17th of July, the morning session finally shows something: a 3ft swell from the WSW, period of 5 seconds. The wind is light from the ENE (cross-offshore), and it’s described as “clean.” The combined energy is 49, which is still low but better than nothing. The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," and the score is a 1 out of 10, so we’re not talking about anything special. It’s just the least bad option in a very flat run.
Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th see a bit more energy, with Sunday morning showing 5ft from the WSW and a period of 6 seconds, but the wind is onshore and the conditions are listed as poor. The afternoon of Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th have stronger energy (up to 232 on the 20th afternoon), but the swell is over 5ft and it’s all onshore wind. That’s a mess.
If the wind had been offshore on those bigger days, it would have been a different story, but as it stands, the only time you might get a halfway decent wave is Friday morning the 17th. It’s a beach break, so the short period means it’ll be a bit soft and peaky. Don’t expect any barrels.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the forecasts, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
