The Lowdown
Alright, folks, let me break it down for you. This stretch here at Kijkduin is a real bummer – the whole 16-day window is just flat and messy. No standout sessions, no real swell to speak of. It’s one of those long, quiet spells that’s hard to get excited about.
Kicking off on Monday, August 3rd, we’ve got tiny 0.3m to 0.4m swell from the NNE and NNW, with weak energy readings (10 and 8). The wind is cross-off in the morning, so it’s clean, but there’s just no power. Tuesday the 4th is the same story – 0.3m swell, a bit longer period (7 seconds), but still only 18 energy. Not enough to push you.
The only real hiccup comes on Wednesday the 5th. Swell hits 1.4m in the morning and 1.6m in the afternoon, from the WSW, with moderate energy (127 and 191). That’s the biggest we’ll see, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore at 35 km/h, turning the surface into a lumpy cross-chop. The period is only 6 seconds – short-period windswell. It’s messy and looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle session.
After that, it’s downhill. Thursday the 6th drops to 1.1m, then 0.9m, with cross-onshore winds and chop. Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th are barely ankle-deep with onshore winds. The whole second week is a dead zone – from August 9th all the way to the 18th, we’re looking at swell heights mostly under 0.5m, with energy readings in the single digits or teens. The wind is either onshore, cross-on, or cross-off, but with no swell to work with.
There’s a tiny glimmer on Monday the 17th of August – the morning looks clean with a light cross-off breeze from the ENE and 0.8m swell from the west (32 energy), but the period is only 5 seconds. It’s weak and short, not worth getting wet for.
Water temp on the 3rd is 21°, which is 3° warmer than usual – that’s very unusual, but it doesn’t change the fact that there’s no surf.
So, plain and simple: there’s nothing good on offer for the next 16 days. It’s a blank run, but for Kijkduin, that’s not unusual. Forecasts can change, so keep your eyes peeled, but for now, leave the board in the shed.

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.

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.
