Table - best surf conditions forecast for Kijkduin over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty checking in on the local stretch at Kijkduin. I gotta be straight with you—it’s a grim-looking 16 days. The forecast is full of poor surf conditions, so don't get your gear ready just yet.
Water temp is running hot—about 20°, which is way warmer than usual for July. That’s a rare treat on its own.
We start Friday the 10th with a tiny 1.0ft swell from the north and very weak energy (7). The morning breeze is light and cross-offshore, keeping it glassy, but there’s nothing to ride. The whole weekend and Monday the 13th stay small—waves never getting over 3ft, and it’s mostly cross-onshore or onshore wind, turning the sea into a mess.
Tuesday the 14th through Friday the 17th is the same grind: 2ft to 3ft, lumpy, choppy, and uninviting. The only clean moments are short-lived on the Thursday 16th morning with an offshore breeze, but the swell is barely 2ft so you’re waiting for nothing.
The biggest swell we see comes on Sunday the 19th—waves up to 5ft from the NNW, period 7 seconds, and combined energy of 208. That’s moderate, but it’s hammered by a 30 km/h onshore wind, making it ugly and dangerous for anyone but experts. Same story into Monday the 20th: size drops to 3ft but it’s still onshore and lumpy. For anyone thinking about it, this is more of a kite-surfing breeze than a clean surf setup.
The rest of the second week fades into small, onshore slop. The 22nd and 23rd are barely 2ft again, with light cross-shore chop. Not a single standout session in the whole outlook.
Sometimes it just doesn't line up. Hang tight, the swells will come back.

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.
