The Lowdown
Right then, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Kijkduin.
To be honest, it’s a quiet stretch ahead. For most of the next two weeks, we’re looking at tiny, messy surf with poor winds. The only proper pulse of swell shows up on Monday the 10th of August. That morning, there’s a 7ft NW swell with a period of 9 seconds, and a light offshore SSE breeze, so it should be clean. The combined swell energy is 640 (moderate to strong). At that size, it’s a bit much for beginners. Water temp is about normal for the time of year.
Let’s walk through it.
From Monday the 27th of July through the first week of August, it’s pretty flat and choppy. Monday the 27th has a small WNW swell around 4ft, but onshore west winds at 25 mph make it rough. Tuesday and Wednesday drop even further, with tiny waves under 2ft. Thursday the 30th sees a little bump to 4ft from the WSW, but short period and cross winds mess it up. Friday through Sunday are nearly flat.
The whole first week of August stays poor. Monday the 3rd has a clean morning with light offshore ENE wind, but the swell is only 1.0ft. Not enough to surf.
The morning of Monday the 10th of August is the real standout. That 7ft NW swell with clean, glassy offshore SSE wind is the only real window. The break at Kijkduin (Netherlands) is a beach/jetty setup, exposed to the swell, and the direction is close to its optimum from the NNW. The afternoon sees the swell drop to 5ft and the wind turns onshore, so the morning is the call.
After that, Tuesday the 11th of August goes flat and messy again.
So, there’s only one good session in the 16-day outlook. This break is usually fairly consistent, so the long dry spell is a bit unusual, but forecasts can change. For now, the morning of Monday the 10th of August is the only one worth marking in the calendar, and that’s for experienced surfers.
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.
