The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, with a look at Kijkduin. Bit of a tough stretch ahead, to be honest. The next week and a half is mostly a write-off with messy onshores and lumpy, poor surf. The first actual window that’s worth getting wet for doesn’t show up until Sunday the 6th of September, and it’s very small and ordinary – just 2ft of NNW swell, but at least the wind is offshore, light out of the SSE at 9 mph, so clean. The combined swell energy is weak (55). It’s not a stand-out, just the first session that’s not totally blown out.
The water temp is running 69°F, which is a very unusual 4°F warmer than average for this time of year. That’s a bonus for a late-summer paddle.
The best surf of this whole 16-day window shapes up later on, around Thursday the 18th and Friday the 19th of September. Thursday morning the 18th has 5ft of WNW swell, light E wind at 3 mph turning it cross-offshore and clean, and a moderate combined swell energy (135). That’s nice and clean, but the waves are a bit ordinary and it’s still just a 5-second period – short and weak for the size. Friday the 19th morning looks a touch better with 5ft of NW swell and a 7-second period, combined energy 289 (moderate), and clean with a cross-offshore breeze from the east at 12 mph. Same on the afternoon there – 5ft of NNW, 8-second period, 257 energy, clean. That’s your pick of the entire forecast, though it's still only marginal. Crowds at Kijkduin pop up sometimes, so you might have company.
Kijkduin is a beach and jetty setup, exposed to the swell but wide open. Given the long stretches of strong cross-onshore and messy conditions mid-forecast, especially between the 8th and 15th with near gale and strong breezes, a kite would be a much better bet than a paddle board on those days.
So – a slow start, a small clean window Sunday morning, then a long gap of poor conditions until the very end. If you’re in the water, aim for Saturday the 19th.
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.
