The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our local stretch at Kijkduin.

First up, the water temp is sitting at 69°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 5°F above the long-term average. That’s a nice little bonus.

Now, the outlook over the next 16 days is pretty grim, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. There’s a long stretch of poor surf conditions from the start right through until the end of the first week. The earliest we see anything remotely surfable is Monday morning, 7 September, and even then it’s only getting a 1 out of 10 – surfable but very ordinary. The morning of the 7th brings a 4ft swell from the NW with a short period of 4 seconds, and the wind is glassy from the SSW at just 3 mph. That’s the cleanest we’ll see, but the swell energy is weak (43). It’s not going to be any kind of standout.

Tuesday morning, 8 September, is similar – a 4ft swell from the W with a 5-second period, light offshore wind from the SSW at 3 mph, and clean conditions. Again, weak energy (70) and just ordinary.

Wednesday morning, 9 September, shows a 6ft swell from the NW with a 6-second period, but the wind is cross-on from the N at 3 mph, creating small wind ripples. Energy is moderate (223), but conditions are marginal at best.

The only real highlight in the whole 16 days – and it’s a long way off – is Thursday morning, 10 September. We get a 4ft swell from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is offshore from the SE at 16 mph, producing clean conditions. The swell direction is a good match for Kijkduin’s optimum from the NNW. Energy is moderate (151). This is the best on offer, but consistency is only fairly consistent and crowds are possible. Still, it’s the cleanest window we’ve got.

After that, it’s back to poor surf with onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions right through to the end of the forecast. The last few days of the second week, from 11 September onward, are all small and messy – swells under 3ft, short periods, and cross-shore winds.

So, to sum it up: if you’re desperate, the 10th of September morning is your best bet – clean, offshore, and a decent swell direction. Everything else is a write-off. The gap between the first surfable day (7 September) and the last decent one (10 September) is only a few days, but honestly, none of it’s worth getting excited about.

Stay tuned, forecasts can change. Rusty out.

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.
