The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for the Kijkduin stretch. Gotta be straight with ya, it’s a lean run for the next couple of weeks, but there’s a tiny glimmer of hope if you’re patient.
We’re starting with a blank spell. From now (Thursday the 13th), right through until Friday the 21st, it’s basically a write-off. The waves are tiny, the winds are ugly, and the poor conditions just keep rollin’ in. You’ll see a pulse of energy around the 19th and 20th with swell heights touchin’ 5ft, but it’s all wrapped up in nasty cross-onshore wind, making a mess of things. The combined energy climbs into the hundreds (166-270), but with that wind, you’re better off watchin’ from the beach. That’s a solid nine-day gap with nothin’ worth paddling for.
Then, finally, on Saturday the 22nd, things get interesting for a quick minute. The morning at Kijkduin (Netherlands) should see a clean, cross-off breeze from the east at 9 mph, with chest-high waves rolling in about 3ft from the NNW, period around 8 seconds. Combined energy is moderate at 107. It’s not a blower, but it’s *surfable* and the cleanest we’ll see. Afternoon holds similar, just a little smaller. Don’t expect perfection, but after that long dry spell, it’s the best on offer. This is your window.
After that, Sunday the 23rd through the end of the forecast, it fades back into small, choppy, or messy conditions. By Wednesday the 26th, another pulse of 5ft shows up, but again, it’s cross-onshore and messy. Not worth the session.
So, the standout is that Saturday the 22nd morning session. Get it if you can, because the rest of this outlook is a flat, choppy wash-out.

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.
