The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper surf. We're looking at a long, dry spell before anything remotely rideable shows up.
The whole first week and a half is a write-off. From now until late on the 25th of September, it’s nothing but poor conditions. The wind is relentless, mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the swell is short-period, weak, and messy. You'd be fighting a losing battle. Expect a lot of chop and bump. The combined swell energy is mostly piddly two-digit numbers, which is just weak and disorganised. Honestly, for those first ten days, a kite would have more fun than a paddle board in this setup.
Things get interesting on the morning of Saturday the 26th of September. That's our one true standout. Kijkduin will finally wake up. We're looking at a clean 4 ft swell rolling in from the NNW with a period of 9 seconds. That's a decent period, meaning better shaped waves. The real magic is the wind - glassy. Dead calm, 3 mph from the east. The combined wave energy is solid, but with that glassy surface, the quality will be way better than the number suggests. The break is exposed to the NNW swell, which is exactly what we need. Because it's pretty much flat for so long beforehand, don't be surprised if the local crew is out – this spot can get crowded sometimes, especially when it's the only game in town. This one is for the intermediate crew, as it's not a big wave but offers the best chance at a clean ride in weeks.
By Saturday afternoon the wind swings onshore and it's back to poor. Sunday the 27th sees a tiny 1 ft leftover that's not worth paddling for, and then from Monday the 28th through to the end of the outlook, we're back to flat and blown-out nonsense with strong winds and zero energy.
That's it, folks. One small window of hope on the 26th of September. Lock it in if you can.

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.
