The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s be honest – the next 16 days at Kijkduin are a real struggle. The water’s sitting at about 69°F, a solid 4° warmer than usual for this time of year, which is notable, but it doesn’t help the waves one bit. We’ve got long stretches of poor surf, with only a single window that’s even ridable: the morning of Sunday 6 September. That morning we get a light SSW wind at 6 mph blowing cross-offshore, keeping it clean, but the swell is a weak 3 ft from the NNW with an 8-second period and combined energy of just 86 (weak). It’s surfable but very ordinary – you might pick off a few knee-high waves if you’re keen. Everything else is a write‑off. From Monday 31 August right through to Tuesday 15 September, the wind is mostly cross‑shore or cross‑onshore, often strong, and the swells are either too small, too short‑period, or blown out. The break is a beach/jetty setup, fairly consistent but exposed, and the optimum swell direction is NNW – we do see a few days with that direction, but the wind and size ruin them. If you kite surf, those strong winds might get you going, but for paddle surfing, save your energy. This kind of blank run isn’t unusual around here. Forecasts can flip, but for now, it’s

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.
