Alright, this is Rusty. Let me be straight with you – we've got a quiet run ahead for our stretch of coast here in Kijkduin. Looking at the whole 16-day window, it's a real struggle. The first recommendation we get isn't until Saturday the 18th of July, so there's a massive 15-day gap from now with nothing worth paddling out for.
For the first two weeks, the pattern is grim. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, often moderate to fresh, and the swell is small and weak. The combined swell energy barely gets into triple digits once, and that's only a brief 110 on the afternoon of the 3rd of July. For the most part, it sits in the weak range of 10-70. Water temp is running at 68° with a 4° anomaly, which is very unusual – that water's much warmer than normal for the time of year, but you won't be enjoying it with the conditions on offer.
There's nothing that qualifies as a standout. The only blip of potential life comes right at the end of the forecast. On Saturday the 18th of July for the morning session, Kijkduin shows a hint of something. It's a beach/jetty setup that's fairly consistent and exposed to a NNW swell. The guidance says it's best with an optimum swell from the NNW, and that's exactly what's arriving. The swell height is 3 ft from the W at 5 seconds. Now, that short period (under 8 seconds) means it's not a groundswell – it's weak windswell, with combined energy of just 41. That's weak. The wind, however, is light from the E at 6 mph, and it's cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean. This is a rare moment of clarity in an otherwise churned-up outlook.
Even then, the forecast score is just 1 out of 10 and the wave comment is "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's not a day to get excited about. For a beginner? The swell is under 5 ft, so it's not too big, but the quality is just average. For an expert? Absolutely nothing to hold your attention. Later that afternoon, the wind swings back onshore and it's game over.
So there you have it. A long, blank stretch of wind-blown nothing, with one clean but weak window right at the end. It's a tough outlook for Kijkduin.

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.
