The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Well, we’ve got a long, flat spell to start this outlook, and honestly, Kijkduin is looking pretty average for the next week or so. The first solid chance of a wave doesn’t roll in until Saturday, 8th August – that’s a solid week of waiting with hardly anything worth paddling out for. From today, 27th July, right through to the end of the first week, it’s just small, wind-chopped junk. The water temp right now is a very unusual 68°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re standing on the sand watching nothing.
Let’s run through it. Monday 27th July is a write-off – 4ft of weak, short-period NW windswell, cross-on W wind at 16 mph, and a combined energy of only 74. Choppy, messy, poor. Tuesday 28th is even smaller, down to 2ft, with a light cross-on breeze – still no good. Wednesday 29th you get a tiny 1.0ft NNW swell with clean conditions, but it’s barely a ripple. Thursday 30th and Friday 31st are more of the same: small, short-period junk with cross-on wind. The first week is basically dead.
The real action, such as it is, starts on Saturday, 8th August. That morning you get a solid 6ft W swell, period 6 seconds, with light offshore SSE wind at 6 mph and a combined energy of 291 – moderate wave energy. Conditions look clean. The afternoon cleans up even more: 7ft W swell, 7-second period, glassy with SE wind, and energy up to 353. This is the standout of the whole outlook – decent size, glassy wind, and clean surf right here at Kijkduin. It’s a beach/jetty setup, so with that W swell and offshore wind, it should offer some fun walls. Crowds can be a factor here, so get in early.
Sunday 9th August keeps the swell going: 6ft WNW groundswell in the morning with a 6-second period and a cross-off ENE wind—clean again, energy 214. The afternoon drops a bit to 6ft, still clean but a little more ordinary. This is your second-best window.
After that, Monday 10th and Tuesday 11th August see the swell fade and the wind turns back onshore or cross-shore, with fresh NE and NNE wind up to 19 mph, making it lumpy and choppy again. The energy on Tuesday 11th actually spikes to 272 due to a longer 9-second period, but the cross-on wind ruins it for clean surfing.
Overall, if you can wait, the 8th and 9th of August are your only real shots for a proper session. Before that, it’s a total bust.
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.
