The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Kijkduin. We’ve got a rough stretch ahead, so I’ll be straight with you.
First up, the water is sitting at 68°, which is a solid 4° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s pretty notable – feels like a late-summer bath.
The next few days are a write-off. Thursday through Saturday, we’re dealing with lumpy, blown-out junk thanks to strong cross-onshore winds from the WSW and WNW. The wave energy is moderate at best, hitting 169 and 542 in the afternoons, but it’s all messy. Forget about it.
We get a short window on Sunday morning, the 6th. A light offshore breeze from the SE finally cleans things up. Swell is small, only 2ft from the NNW, but the period is a mediocre 8 seconds. The energy is weak (55). It’s tiny, it’s ordinary, but it’s the only breathable air in the forecast. That’s your best bet for a paddle, and it’s not saying much.
Then we’re back into the bad stuff. Sunday afternoon through to the end of the first week is a mix of tiny waves, onshore winds, and messy conditions. The 8th of September brings a 6ft W swell but with a strong breeze and rain showers – just ugly.
There’s a slight glimmer again on the 11th (Friday morning) and the 13th (Sunday morning) with small, clean, cross-offshore conditions, but the swell is tiny at 3ft and the energy is very weak. It’s surfable, but you’ll be fighting for a knee-high ripple.
The 17th of September shows a bit more size – 6ft from the NNW with 8 seconds – but it’s onshore wind and the energy is strong (428). For a beach break like Kijkduin, that’s likely just a stormy, choppy mess. Not worth the drive unless you’re a masochist or a kite surfer.
Overall, there’s no standout. The only real chance to get wet is Sunday morning, September 6th, and even then, keep your expectations on the floor. Don’t hold your breath.
Stay safe, 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.

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.
