The Lowdown

Alright, grab your wettie and listen up. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on the surf for Kijkduin for the next couple of weeks. And I gotta be straight with ya – it’s looking pretty darn bleak.

We’re looking at a run of tiny, gutless surf with poor conditions for the vast majority of the next 16 days. Honestly, the board's gonna be gathering dust. There’s a gap right at the start, and for the better part of the first week, we're staring at dribble. The water temp is a toasty 70°F, which is a good 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that's very unusual, warmest I can recall in a while – but that’s about the only highlight.

The first few days are a total washout. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th have some onshore junk, mostly around 3ft with a short, weak 4-7 second period. The wave energy is weak, with the combined swell energy only hitting figures like 22 or 52. It’s messy, choppy, and just not worth the paddle. The wind is all over the shop, mostly cross or cross-on, making it feel even worse than the size suggests.

Wednesday the 12th through Friday the 14th are even smaller – we’re talking knee-high slop at 0.3ft to 2ft. Sure, the wind is lighter and cleaner, but there’s just nothing to ride. The energy is virtually non-existent, down to single digits like 9 or 1. You'd be floating more than surfing.

The weekend of the 15th and 16th isn't any better. The swell tries to push through a touch on Saturday morning, but it’s only 3ft of short-period windswell with a moderate cross-onshore breeze – pure chop. Sunday is a little less messy but still tiny and poor.

The only real highlight in this whole window is Tuesday the 22nd. Late in the afternoon, the stars align for a moment. The wind drops to almost nothing, going glassy, and while the swell is still small at 2ft, it’s clean. There’s a hint of north in the swell direction, but it’s the clean, glassy conditions make it the only time you might get a fun little wave on the beach/jetty at Kijkduin. A couple of longboards might actually have a chance. It’s not big, but clean at 2ft beats messy any day, trust me.

Before that, on Thursday the 20th, there's a bit of clean surf with a cross-off wind, but the swell is only 2ft with a short 4-second period. It’s surfable on a log, but that’s about it. And that’s the problem – even when it’s clean, the period is so short there’s just no punch behind it.

By the time we get to the middle of the second week, around the 24th and 25th, the forecast is for more of the same – weak, tiny, and lumpy. The energy just isn't there.

So, what’s the verdict? There are no good surf options in this entire 16-day window. This is the kind of blank run that happens in this area. It’s a good few days of no real waves. The forecast can always change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long, but for now, if you're in Kijkduin, you're better off checking the wind forecast for a kite, because this setup is way more interesting for kitesurfing than paddle surfing. Keep the faith, check back with me later.

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.
