The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be honest with you – this outlook for the Kijkduin area is a tough one to swallow. I've been staring at the charts, and it's a pretty grim 16-day stretch for paddle surfing. The whole period is littered with poor surf conditions, and I don't even have a single standout to recommend for a proper session. The first real nugget of hope doesn't even appear until the very end of the run, and even then, it's a long shot.

We kick off on Saturday, 25 July, with some tiny, weak swell. The combined energy is a measly 10 for the morning, and the wind is a messy cross-on. It's flat, it's choppy, and it's a write-off. There's a bit more size on Sunday, 26 July, with the swell pushing up to 4 ft, but the wind is howling at 19 mph, creating a lumpy cross-chop. The wave energy climbs to 83 (still weak), but it's a battle out there, not a pleasure cruise. That trend continues into Monday, 27 July, with similar 4 ft swell but still messy cross-onshore winds.

The rest of the first week and into the second is a desert. From Tuesday, 28 July, all the way through to Saturday, 9 August, the swell is consistently tiny—mostly below 2 ft—with a combined energy that rarely breaks into double digits. The wind is all over the place, but it's never working in our favour for any decent length of time. There are a few moments of clean conditions, like on Wednesday, 29 July morning, with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only 1.0 ft. You'd be bobbing around waiting for a ripple.

The only faint glimmer of something interesting is much further out. On Wednesday, 5 August, that afternoon session sees the swell jump to 5 ft from the WSW, with a combined energy of 155 (moderate). But that's a double-edged sword. The period is only 6 seconds (short period), and the wind is a moderate cross-onshore at 12 mph. The forecast says "poor surf conditions," so it's a messy, lumpy affair. At 5 ft, it's a bit much for beginners, but with that wind and short period, it won't be a quality wave for anyone. Honestly, for a beach setup like Kijkduin, the conditions look more interesting for kite surfing than a proper paddle session.

To answer your question: there are no standouts in this 16-day window. It's a long, blank run—about 16 days of nothing worthwhile. The water temperature is a notable 68 °F, which is about 5 °F warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least a dip won't be cold. But for waves? We're just going to have to wait for the next forecast to change, because this one is a bust.

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.
