The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening at Kijkduin over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – this is a tough stretch.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a massive gap. The forecast starts with nothing rideable for the first chunk. From Wednesday 26 August right through to the morning of Thursday 10 September, it’s a total write-off. We’re talking about two full weeks of poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, the wind is all wrong, and when we do see a bump of size, it’s accompanied by messy cross-onshore winds that just trash the surface. So, yeah, you’re looking at a long, dry spell.
The first genuine chance to get wet doesn’t come until Thursday 10 September, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about.
Thursday 10 September – Morning
The only window worth mentioning. Kijkduin will see a weak, clean 0.9ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 6 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, which will keep the surface clean. The combined energy is weak (63). It’s surfable, but just barely. The water temperature is a notable 69°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. Because it’s a beach/jetty setup, the energy is pretty minimal. Expect tiny, weak waves. It’s a last resort for anyone desperate to get out.
After that, it’s back to poor conditions for the rest of the 16-day window. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell direction doesn’t line up right. We do see a spike on Wednesday 9 September with a 6ft NNW swell (330 energy), but it’s accompanied by a moderate cross-onshore wind, making it messy and choppy. Not worth it.
So, the honest truth? There’s no standout session here. The only real option is that Thursday 10 September morning, and it’s a flat, clean, weak little wave. For the rest of the time, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially on those days with stronger cross-shore winds.
Hang in there, the forecasts can always change.
Rusty.

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.
