The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days is a tough one for the Kijkduin area. There’s a long stretch of real flat, poor conditions ahead.
We’re starting off on Friday, 24th July, and honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about. The first real, half-decent chance doesn’t pop up until Sunday, 2nd August. That’s over a week with no real surf on offer. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and the swell is tiny and weak. Even the combined swell energy is barely reaching double digits, mostly sitting between 13 and 48 (weak energy). It’s frustrating, I know.
But let’s talk about that Sunday, 2nd August, because it’s the only highlight in the whole run. Kijkduin is a beach/jetty setup, and on Sunday morning, we’ve got a bit of a shift. The wind swings around to a light SSE breeze, which is a clean cross-offshore. The summary swell height is a tiny 3ft from the WSW, with a period of 5 seconds (short period). The combined energy jumps to 62 (still weak), but the forecast calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." For this area, in this window, that’s the best we’ll see. The score is a 1 out of 10. It’s not great, but it’s the only game in town. Expect a small, weak, but clean wave if you’re desperate.
For the rest of the period, from the 24th through to the 8th of August, expect nothing but choppy, blown-out, or flat conditions. The wind is mostly from the west or northwest, keeping things messy. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the run, with those moderate cross-onshore breezes.
Stick with it, though. The forecast can change. For now, that Sunday morning is your only ticket.
Stay salty,
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.
