The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s not sugar-coat it – the next couple of weeks are looking bleak for surf. We've got a lot of nothing on the cards, with small, weak waves and wind from all directions. It's not a time for hope, but there are a couple of small windows where a paddle might be worth it if you're keen.
The first few days are a total loss. We're talking ankle-biters, onshore chop, and no power. The swell is all over the place, and the periods are short, so there's no push or shape. Even when the wind drops, the surf is just too small.
We're looking at a long, flat spell from the 8th through to the 16th of August. Day after day of tiny, weak waves. The wind is often sideshore or onshore, and the swell energy is basically nothing. It's the kind of flat period where you start checking forecasts for foreign countries.
There's a slight bump around the 17th and 18th, but it's nothing special. The swell picks up to around 3 to 4 feet, but it's still a short-period, wind-blown mess from the WNW/NW. With a west-southwest breeze, it's going to be lumpy and uninviting. The energy finally gets going, but the wind ruins any chance of it being clean.
The one small highlight might be the afternoon of the 19th of August. The swell pushes up to about 5 feet from the WSW, the energy gets into a moderate range, and the wind eases to a gentler cross-on. It's still not perfect, but it's the most surfable we get in this whole window. It might be too much for beginners, but for the intermediates, it could be a bit of fun. Just don't expect any clean walls. After that, it's more of the same, small and messy. In short, keep your board in the car and your expectations low. It's a tough stretch for the Kijkduin crew.

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.
