The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at the surf over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it's a bit of a bummer of a forecast. The first week and a half is looking pretty poor, with onshore winds and tiny, weak swell. We're looking at a gap of nearly two weeks before anything even gets close to rideable. The only real hope comes right at the very end.
The only spot we've got is Kijkduin, a beach and jetty setup that faces the swell. The water is a toasty 70.7°F, which is a wild 5.8°F warmer than normal for this time of year – that's a huge anomaly, feels like you're surfing in a bathtub compared to the usual.
The first day that shows any life is Tuesday, 1st September. There's a clean, offshore breeze in the morning, and the swell comes up to 5.6ft from the west, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (205). The morning looks clean, but that period is really short, so it'll be a bit bumpy and lack any real power. The afternoon goes a bit cross-shore, taking the shine off. Still, this is the only window with anything on offer, so if you're itching for a paddle, that Tuesday morning is your only shot. The rest of the 16 days is a total blank.

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.
