The Lowdown
Gutted, folks. Plain and simple, this 16-day stretch for Kijkduin is a total bust. I’ve looked at every window, every day, and there is just nothing on the table that’s worth paddling out for. We’ve got a full two weeks-plus of no-go surf, and I gotta be straight with you—that’s a long, dry spell.
The water’s sitting at 67.6° which is a good couple of degrees warmer than we’d expect for this time of year. It’s like the ocean forgot the calendar, but that’s where the good news ends. The first week of the outlook is just a mess of weak, short-period windswell, mostly under 3.5ft, with constant cross and cross-onshore winds chopping everything up. The energy readings are pathetic—you can feel the lack of push just looking at it. We’ve got a few clean windows here and there, like the Saturday morning cross-off with that 1.3ft dribbler, or the Tuesday morning cross-off with 2.6ft, but it’s all ankle-biters. The swell direction is all over the place too, never matching the NNW that Kijkduin really wants. It’s like the ocean is just shrugging its shoulders at us.
The second week isn’t any better. The swell just dies. We’re looking at 0.3ft to 0.6ft slop for days, with almost no energy behind it. It’s a lake out there. The only real kick of swell in the entire period arrives on Thursday the 17th, with around 3.3ft of cross-shore junk and a fresh breeze creating lumpy, cross-chop. But it’s all coming from the wrong direction and short-period, so it’s just going to be messy and closed out. Not worth the hassle.
I’m not going to lie to you and pretend there’s a hidden gem here. There isn’t. The forecast for Kijkduin is about as blank as it gets. But here’s the thing—this place is fairly consistent when it’s on, so a run this dead is a bit of a statistical anomaly. Forecasts change, and a clean pulse from the northwest could flip this whole thing on its head. Let’s just keep the boards waxed and hope for a better run next week.

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.
