The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on offer for Kijkduin over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch ahead. The entire 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for anything worth paddling out for. Every single session in the forecast is flagged as poor surf conditions. There’s a long gap of nothing but flat, choppy, or onshore junk from now until the very end of the run.
We start off on Tuesday the 21st with tiny 2ft swell from the north, a short period of 6 seconds, and a cross-on breeze. The water is a very unusual 69° – that’s 4° warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a real talking point, but it doesn’t make the surf any better. The combined energy is a weak 28. It’s just messy.
Wednesday the 22nd sees a slight bump in height to 5ft from the NNW, with a period of 6 seconds, but it’s under onshore winds. The combined energy hits 161 (moderate), but the wind is ruining any chance of a shape. Thursday the 23rd is cross-on and choppy with 3ft. Friday the 24th has a moment of light wind with 2ft, but it’s onshore and gutless.
The entire second week – from the 25th of July right through to the 5th of August – is a desert. Swell heights drop to 1ft, 1ft, even 0.3ft. Winds are mostly cross-on or onshore, sometimes glassy or clean (like the 29th morning with glassy conditions and 1ft, and the 30th morning with clean cross-off and 0.7ft), but the swell is just too small to do anything with. The combined energy figures are in the single digits or low double digits – weak.
There’s a brief flicker on the 1st of August morning with a 4ft swell from the WSW, period 6 seconds, and a cross-shore breeze. The combined energy hits 115 (moderate), but it’s still rated as poor surf. The rest of that day and the following days are back to tiny, choppy, or onshore junk.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. Not a single one. The only thing that’s worth noting is that the water is much warmer than you’d expect, but that’s little comfort when you’re bobbing around on 1ft slop. For a beach/jetty setup like Kijkduin, with the wind and swell directions we’re seeing, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on a few of those breezier afternoons. But for a surfer? Leave the board in the car.
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.
