The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking in our little corner of the coast. Gotta be honest with you, it's a flat spell and it's going to be a long one. The first worthwhile wave isn't showing up for a while, so we're looking at a frustrating gap of over two weeks before anything even gets close to rideable.
Forget the next week or so. We've got a whole lot of nothing. Tiny, weak scraps that won't even hold a rail. The wind is all over the shop - mostly cross or onshore, chewing up whatever small bump there is. The water temp at Kijkduin is running a massive 3° warmer than normal for the time of year, which is seriously odd, but with no waves, it doesn't help one bit.
The first flicker of hope comes on Sunday, August 9th. We finally see some energy building overnight. The morning session shows a 5ft swell from the WNW with a moderate combined energy of 133, and the wind is onshore but light. By the afternoon, it's picking up to 6ft from the WNW with a healthier energy reading of 237, though it's still an onshore wind. The period is only 6 seconds, so it's a short-period wind swell, not a clean groundswell. For a beach/jetty spot like Kijkduin, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. It could be rideable for an expert on a big board, but it's going to be choppy and a bit of a battle. It's not the clean, lined-up wave we're all hoping for.
So, there are no true standouts in this 16-day window. It's a blank run, plain and simple. For this area, that's just how it goes sometimes. Forecasts can always change, but for now, keep the board in the bag and maybe go for a swim. The ocean will wake up again.
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.
