The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s be straight with you. This is a tough watch. Kijkduin is looking at a long, drawn-out stretch of slop, blown-out junk, and lake-like flatness. The first real surfable chance doesn't show up until Sunday morning, the 6th of September, and even that is a real "won't get your hopes up" kind of wave.
The water is sitting at a balmy 68°F, which is 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That's notable, but it's small comfort when the ocean looks like a washing machine.
The 6th of September is the only real window we’ve got. Early Sunday morning, a gentle offshore wind from the SE will clean things up nicely at Kijkduin (beach/jetty). The swell is tiny, only 2ft from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here is weak (57). It’s surfable, but it’s for the longboard or the foamie, and you'll be scratching for every little bump. The crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so you might have a few others picking at the same scraps. Sunday afternoon drops even further to 2ft.
After that, we go straight back into a drought. From Monday the 7th through to the 18th of September, the finder throws up nothing but "poor surf conditions" and scores of zero. There are gaps of several days with absolutely no recommendations. The wind is either howling onshore, switching to cross-offshore with no swell, or the swell is non-existent. There’s a spike of bigger swell around the 8ft mark on Friday the 4th, but it's accompanied by a near-gale cross-onshore wind (31 mph), which is pure blown-out chaos. A couple of days later, around the 12th, there’s some 8ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is onshore and the waves look messy.
Bottom line: The 6th of September morning is your only look. It’s a tiny, clean, glassy morning for the patient surfer. After that, put the board away and check the forecast again in a week or two, because it’s going to be a blank run.

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.
