Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Kijkduin for the next couple of weeks. I gotta level with you – it’s pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of flat or near-flat conditions, so don’t rush to grab your board.
Starting off, nothing on Friday the 3rd of July. There’s a bit of swell around 4 ft from the NW, but the period is a weak 6 seconds and the wind is onshore at 12 mph. Combined energy is weak at 108 to 154, and the wave comment says poor surf. No recommendations at all for over two weeks. There’s a huge gap with barely a ripple.
Through the first week and into the second, we see tiny bumps – 0.7 ft to 2 ft from the north – but the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and the combined energy is in the single digits or low double digits. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Kijkduin is a beach/jetty break, exposed to the NNW, but there’s just no energy. Around the 12th to the 14th, the wind goes light and cross-offshore, so it’s clean, but the swell is tiny – 0.7 ft to 1 ft with periods of 3 to 5 seconds. You’d be sitting on a glassy lake.
Then on Friday the 17th of July morning, we finally get a pulse. Swell hits 4 ft from the WSW with a 5-second period – short-period windswell – but the wind is cross-offshore from the ESE at 9 mph, so it’s clean. The combined energy climbs to 103, moderate. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” scoring a 1 out of 10. That’s the only half-decent window in the whole 16 days. Kijkduin is a beach break, and with that short period, expect closeouts and lumpy shapes. Still, if you’re itching, Friday morning is your best bet. The afternoon drops to 2 ft.
After that, Saturday the 18th goes back to small and onshore. So basically, two weeks of flat with one ordinary session on the 17th morning. No standouts, no big swell, no long-period groundswell. If you’re a beginner, the 4 ft is manageable, but quality is poor. Consolation: this spot is fairly consistent, so a blank run like this is unusual; forecasts can change.
Rusty out.

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.
Kijkduin is 5 km (3 miles) from s-Gravenzande. If you plan a holiday in Netherlands, look for hotels and other accommodation in s-Gravenzande. s-Gravenzande has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
