The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Kijkduin.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch. The next ten days are looking pretty grim, with nothing worth paddling out for. We’ve got a long, flat, and choppy run ahead until we finally see something with a pulse. The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Sunday the 9th of August, and even that’s barely a whisper.
The wait finally ends on Sunday the 9th of August. We get a little bump of 4 ft swell from the WNW, but it’s a short period windswell at 5 seconds. The combined swell energy is pretty weak at 61. Kijkduin will be surfable in the morning with a light cross-offshore breeze making things clean, but it’s very ordinary. Don’t expect any quality; it’s a session for getting wet, not for getting barrelled. The water is running at a balmy 70°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 6° above average, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
If you’re craving something with a bit more push, you’ve got to wait until the 14th of August. Friday afternoon looks like the most powerful event of the whole window, with a solid 7 ft swell from the NW. The combined energy jumps right up to a very strong 357, so there’s plenty of water moving. But – and it's a big but – the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the N at 19 mph, making it lumpy and poor quality. This is peak size, but not peak conditions. That NW swell continues into the weekend of the 16th of August, with the swell still hovering around 6 to 6 ft and the energy hitting over 400. The wind stays messy, though, so while there’s size for the experienced crew, the chop will be a battle.
Truth is, nothing in this outlook stands out as a true, world-class day. The only time with any real size comes with ugly wind. For the first week and a half, there’s nothing to get excited about. It’s a waiting game. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because this blank run can’t last forever.

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.
