The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you—this is a tough one. The 16-day window for the Kijkduin area is a real mixed bag, and I mean *really* mixed. There’s no standout session that’ll have you calling in sick for work. The whole run is plagued by messy conditions, onshore and cross-shore winds that just won't quit, and only tiny dribbles of swell.
We kick off on Sunday the 6th of September with a tiny 2ft swell from the NNW, but the wind is cross-off and light, so it's clean. The problem? The swell is weak, with combined energy of just 32, and the period is short at 7 seconds. It's really just for the longboard or the foiler, if you're desperate for a paddle. That pretty much sets the tone. The water temperature is a notable 68°, which is much warmer than normal for the time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you're bobbing around.
The only time we see any real height is on the 8th and 9th of September. Tuesday the 8th brings a 4ft swell in the morning and then 6ft in the afternoon, but the wind is a fresh cross to cross-onshore, making it choppy and lumpy. The afternoon sees a combined energy of 223, which is moderate. Then Wednesday the 9th sees the biggest swell of the period, hitting 7ft from the WNW in the morning, with combined energy up to 433. This is solid, but the wind is a strong cross-onshore and the surf is messy. This is expert-only territory, and honestly, with that wind, it's going to be a battle. It looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. After that, it's a slow decline back into tiny, weak, and often choppy surf for the rest of the period. There are long gaps with nothing worthwhile—we're talking days of 0.7ft to 1ft junk.
Honestly, there’s no best on offer here. If I had to pick the least worst moment, it would be the clean, cross-off conditions on the morning of Sunday the 6th with that 2ft swell, or maybe the morning of Saturday the 12th with a tiny 1ft and clean conditions. But even then, you're chasing shadows. This is a blank run that’s pretty normal for the area when the wind gods turn their back on you.
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.
