The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what we’ve got here for the Kijkduin area. I won't sugarcoat it – we’re staring down a long, tough run. There’s no standout day, and honestly, for the first 8 or 9 days, it's pretty much a write-off. You’ve got onshore winds, short-period windswell, and just grim conditions. The combined swell energy is weak, staying under 100 (17) for much of the first week, though it does nudge up into moderate territory on the 23rd (533) but it’s paired with a fresh breeze making it lumpy. Not one for the log.
The best we can see is a brief window on Tuesday, 28th July. The morning session shows some hope with a fuzzy 5 ft swell from the WNW (period 6 sec), and we actually get some offshore wind from the ESE. The energy is moderate (149), and the report says it’s clean. For Kijkduin, a beach/jetty setup exposed to the north-west, that offshore flow is a real treat. It’ll tidy up a wave that is otherwise pretty ordinary. Still, don’t expect barrels – this is a modest, marginal day for the intermediate surfer. Crowds are possible here, so pick your bank well.
After that, it’s straight back into onshore crud for the rest of the run. There’s a whisper of a glassy morning on Sunday, 2nd August, with a tiny 2 ft swell from the NNW (46 combined energy), but it’s surfable but ordinary. Hardly worth the drive unless you’re desperate.
So, the standout, if you can call it that, is Tuesday morning, 28th July. It’s the only time the wind gives us a break. The rest? A whole lot of waiting.

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.
