The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Kijkduin. It ain't a pretty picture.

We’re starting with a big, fat gap. From the get-go (Friday, August 28th) all the way through to Saturday, September 5th, there’s just nothing on offer. The wind is all over the place – cross, onshore, lumpy – and the swell is tiny and weak, with combined wave energy mostly in the double digits. It’s a total loss.

The first tiny window shows up on the morning of Sunday, September 6th. Swell comes in at 4ft from the northwest, with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of 100. That’s barely enough. But the wind goes glassy calm. That’s a huge positive. It’ll be clean but very ordinary. Not a highlight, just the only chance to get wet.

Monday the 7th of September looks like it has some size – up to 8ft from the northwest with 7-second periods and energy jumping to 589. But the wind is blowing straight onshore from the northwest. At that size, it’s for experts only, and with the wind ruining it, you’d be better off with a kite than a paddle.

The pick of a very weak bunch is Tuesday morning the 8th of September. We get a 5ft swell from the north-northwest, 8-second period, and energy of 302. That’s weak-to-moderate. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the south at 9 mph, so it’ll be clean and lined up. It’s a marginal call – a session for the hopeful.

After that, it’s back to small, weak, and unhappy surf for the second week.

So that’s the story: no real standouts. That glassy Sunday morning is it. Otherwise, it’s a lot of nothing and some blown-out size. It happens around here sometimes.

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.
