The Lowdown
Well, folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – it's a tough outlook for Kijkduin. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, and honestly, it's mostly a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. There's a massive gap of poor conditions stretching from now all the way through to late in the period, so you're better off keeping the board in the car and not holding your breath.
The first whisper of anything even remotely surfable doesn't pop up until the morning of Monday, August 24th. The swell is weak, with a combined swell energy reading of just 129 (moderate wave energy). The swell is coming from the WSW at 5ft, with a short period of 6 seconds. That's a bit of a bump, not a proper wave. The wind is glassy though, and that's a massive positive – dead calm. But the wave quality is described as just "surfable but very ordinary." For Kijkduin, a beach/jetty setup, that short period and straight-on swell direction will likely make for weak, crumbly walls. Honestly, with that combined swell energy and poor quality, this setup looks more interesting for a kite session than a proper paddle. If you're a beginner, that's fine, but don't expect much.
From the guidance, Kijkduin is a fairly consistent spot, so a run this empty is a bit of a surprise, but it happens. The open exposure to the NNW swell direction has been completely out of sync with the wind all fortnight. For the morning of the 24th, though, we get that glassy window. It's the only real stand-out, but it's a very low bar. If the forecasts shift, it might improve, but as it stands, it's a long wait for very little.
There are no other breaks in the data to compare, so that's your lot.
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.
