G’day, I’m Rusty. Let me be straight with ya – if you’re hanging for a wave at Kijkduin over the next couple of weeks, you’re gonna be doing a lot of waiting. This stretch looks almost completely flat and messy for days on end, so strap in for a long quiet spell.

The first sign of anything worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Monday the 20th of July. That morning, Kijkduin (this is a beach/jetty setup) finally sees a pulse of life: a 5ft northwest swell, period around 8 seconds, with light offshore winds out of the south-southwest. The water’s sitting at a very warm 68°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a few degrees above what you’d expect, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home. The combined energy hits 277 (moderate wave energy) and the morning looks clean. That Monday morning session is the one standout in this entire 16-day window – a rare glimmer of clean, rideable surf after an otherwise grim run.

Before that? Nothing. From Saturday the 11th right through to Sunday the 19th, it’s a dead loss: tiny ankle-snappers, cross-shore chop, and onshore junk. We’re talking days of 0.7ft to 2ft slop with winds all over the shop – north, northeast, even some cross-off breezes on the 15th and 16th that keep things clean but with no swell to work with. The crowd factor at Kijkduin is listed as “sometimes” busy, so when it does fire, you might have a few mates out – but honestly, there’s nothing to draw a crowd for most of this period.

After that Monday morning high point, the surf drops off again quick. Monday afternoon clouds over, the wind swings west and the 4ft becomes onshore and choppy. Tuesday the 21st is messy cross-shore junk, and Wednesday the 22nd brings a 5ft west-northwest swell but it’s blown out by a fresh onshore breeze. The 24th of July (Friday) offers a clean-ish morning with a 4ft northerly swell and cross-off winds, but it’s still ordinary – score’s low, just surfable. Then the 25th and 26th see bigger swells (7ft to 7ft) but with strong cross-shore winds and lumpy, messy conditions – that’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle-surfing. Those bigger waves are only for experts anyway, and with the wind tearing it up, it’s not worth the fight.

So, to wrap it up: the only true highlight is Monday the 20th of July, early. Get out there before the wind turns. After that, the second week is a mix of blown-out lumps and clean but tiny days. Pretty grim overall, mate, but that’s how Kijkduin can go – when it’s quiet, it’s real quiet. Forecasts can change, though.

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.
