The Lowdown

Righto, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the Kijkduin area.

Honestly, my friends, it's a pretty grim stretch of real estate ahead. The forecast models are showing a real struggle for anything even remotely worth paddling out for. We're looking at a long, dry spell with poor surf conditions dominating the outlook.

The first bit of the week is a total write-off. Tuesday the 1st starts with a weak 4ft NW swell packing a short 6-second period, with a cross-on wind making it choppy. The energy is a measly 77 (weak). Wednesday and Thursday are even worse, with winds blowing strong and the swell getting messy. By Friday the 4th, we see a bump in size to 6ft from the WSW, but with a 28 mph cross-shore wind, it's going to be a chaotic mess. The energy hits 341 (moderate), but it's just not for paddling.

The first real flicker of hope comes on Sunday the 6th. The wind goes light offshore from the ESE, cleaning things up. The swell is tiny, just 2ft from the NNW with a period of 7 seconds, so the energy is weak at 47. It's surfable, but only just. Very ordinary.

We see a similar tiny clean window on Monday the 7th with a 1.0ft NNW swell and offshore wind, but it's barely a ripple. After that, it's back to the choppy, blown-out grind. There's a pulse of 5ft WSW swell on Wednesday the 9th, but it's hammered by a 22 mph cross-off wind. The energy is 170 (moderate), but the conditions are poor.

The biggest swell of the period shows up on Thursday the 10th, with a 7ft WNW swell and a massive 403 (strong) energy reading. But that's accompanied by a 28 mph cross-shore wind, and by the afternoon it's a full-on gale at 40 mph. That's a hard pass for anything but a serious big-wave crew, and even then, the wind is just too much.

The end of the forecast window has a few cleaner days with offshore winds, but the swell is tiny and weak. Saturday the 12th morning has a brief moment of glassy conditions from the ENE with a 2ft N swell, but it's short-lived. The rest of the second week offers clean, onshore winds but with waves under 3ft and weak energy.

So, to be brutally honest, there's no standout session here. The best you can hope for is a few small, clean waves on Sunday the 6th. If you're desperate, you could try Kijkduin (a beach/jetty setup) on that morning for a micro-session, but don't expect much. The rest of the time, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the consistent wind and small, lumpy conditions.

Hang in there, the forecasts can always change, but for now, it's a blank run.

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.
