Table - best surf conditions forecast for Kijkduin over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be honest about what’s on the table for Kijkduin over the next couple of weeks. I’ve looked at the numbers, and this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, frustrating gap of poor conditions that stretches from now, right through until the 20th of July. There’s really nothing to get excited about for the first nine days, with tiny waves and messy wind.
The first real glimmer of hope, and I mean a glimmer, shows up on the morning of Monday, the 21st of July. Kijkduin (beach/jetty setup) might see a little pulse of 2ft swell from the north with a period of 8 seconds. The wind turns offshore from the ESE at 9 mph, which is a huge positive. That gentle offshore breeze will clean things up, making it rideable for a standard log or a funboard. The energy is still weak at 57, so don’t expect power, but that clean face is a rare treat. The water is running much warmer than usual for this time of year, pushing 68°F with a 4° anomaly, so it’s almost tropical compared to normal.
That moment is the only real standout. The afternoon of the 21st goes back to poor conditions, and then we’re back into a lull. The next chance might be Thursday, the 23rd of July, when the swell picks up to 5ft from the WSW, but it’s a 7-second period on a gentle cross-shore wind. It’s not clean, and it’s not great. Then on Friday, the 24th, we see bigger numbers: 6ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, and the energy jumps to 460 (moderate wave energy). But the wind is howling from the WSW at 22-25 mph, creating a messy cross-chop. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing dream. The size is there, but the quality is not.
To be blunt, if you’ve got a kite, maybe look at the 24th. For a surfboard, the 21st of July morning is your only real shot. This is a classic summer flat spell for Kijkduin. It’s not unusual, but it’s underwhelming.
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.
