The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

Alright, I’m gonna be straight with you—this is a tough one. The entire 16-day window is a real struggle. We are looking at a long, blank stretch here. There’s just no good surf on offer at all, so don’t bother getting your hopes up for a sneaky session. The first recommendation doesn't even show up, and it stays that way. The whole period is a write-off.

We start on Wednesday the 22nd with a messy, onshore wind situation at Kijkduin. The swell is there, but it’s a weak, short-period windswell—3 feet from the NNW with a period of just 5 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 51, and with a 15 mph breeze blowing onshore, it’s just poor, choppy conditions. Not worth a paddle.

This rough pattern hangs around. Thursday the 23rd still has that NNW windswell, getting a bit bigger at 5 feet in the morning, but the wind is still cross-onshore and choppy. Energy climbs to 146, but it’s still a mess. By Friday the 24th, the swell drops right off to 2 feet and the energy plummets to 34. It’s just weak and ugly.

The rest of the first week is a slow bleed. The swell gets smaller and smaller, the wind stays mostly cross-onshore or cross, and the energy readings are tiny—down to single digits. It’s flat, it’s choppy, it’s nothing.

There is a tiny spike on Monday the 27th, where the swell hits 6 feet from the NW with a 6-second period. The combined energy jumps to 306, which is moderate, but the wind is still onshore in the morning and cross-onshore in the afternoon. At 6 feet, it’s getting too big for beginners, but with that onshore chop, it’s just a mess. For the experienced crew, it looks more like a kite-surfing day than a good paddle-out.

After that, it’s a long, slow death. From the 28th of July all the way through to the 6th of August, the swell is tiny, often under 2 feet, with energy readings that are basically zero. The wind is all over the place, but never clean. There’s a glassy moment on the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August, but with only 1 foot of swell and 3 energy, it’s flat as a pancake. The cross-offshore wind on the morning of the 5th of August sounds nice, but again, 0.5 feet of swell and 2 energy means you’re just floating.

Honestly, for this area, a blank run like this is more normal than you’d hope. It’s one of those times where you just leave the boards in the garage and wait for the next system. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
