The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening on our local stretch.
Right now, things are looking pretty flat and grim for Kijkduin. There’s a big, dry gap at the start of this forecast period, so don’t even bother waxing up for the next week and a half. We’re looking at a solid 14 days of nothing but tiny, gutless waves and messy conditions. The water is sitting at a surprisingly warm 69°F which is well above normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing going for us.
The first real chance of anything remotely surfable doesn’t pop up until Thursday the 6th of August. Even then, it’s a pretty weak offering. The swell is a meager 3ft from the NNE, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is only 66 (moderate energy), so it’s not going to have much push. The morning window on the 6th is the best bet, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW keeping the surface clean. But it’s still a very ordinary, small day.
The standout, if you can call it that, is the whole period. There simply isn’t a single day that fires. The swell stays small, the wind is often onshore or cross-onshore, and the quality just isn’t there. For a beginner, anything over 5ft can be a handful, but here we don’t even get close to that. The waves are too small and weak for anyone to get excited about.
So, the honest truth is there’s no good surf on offer in this 16-day window. For Kijkduin, a blank run like this isn’t unusual, unfortunately. Keep your gear dry and wait for the next forecast. Things can change.
Rusty.

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.
