The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the forecast for Kijkduin over the next 16 days is a tough one. There are no good surf options on the table. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for decent waves. From the 9th of August all the way through to the 24th of August, every single session is labelled poor surf conditions. That’s a long, blank run.
The first recommendation doesn’t even come up, so we’re looking at a big gap right from the start. The swell is tiny, with heights barely reaching 3ft at the very end, and the combined energy of all swells directed here is weak, mostly single and low double-digit values (like 3, 7, 33, 68). The best combined energy we see is 78 on the 24th of August, but even that is still weak in the bigger scheme of things. The swell direction is mostly from the north, but the period is short, often 4-6 seconds, which means weak, wind-driven chop, not real surf.
The only break on offer is Kijkduin, a beach/jetty setup that is exposed to the swell. It’s fairly consistent, but with the conditions we’ve got, that doesn’t matter. The wind is often cross-on or onshore, adding to the mess. For a spot like this, when the swell is this weak and the wind is poor, it’s more of a kite surfing setup than a paddle surfing one. The water temperature is 70°F, which is *much warmer than normal* for the time of year – a solid 6°F above average. That’s a rare treat for the skin, but it’s the only highlight.
Don’t hold your breath. This is a lean period for Kijkduin, and it’s normal for the area to have these stretches. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to paddle for.
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.
