The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s get into it for Kijkduin.
Truth is, this 16-day stretch is a flat, windy mess. No good surf options anywhere in the window, which isn’t unusual for the area—some runs are just empty. We take the good with the bad.
Kicking off Tuesday, September 1st, the swell is about 3ft from the NW with a short 6-second period (combined energy weak, at 60). The cross-on wind is blowing at 12 mph, making the surf choppy and ugly. Water temp is about 69°, and that's 4° above the norm for this time of year—much warmer than usual, but that doesn’t help the waves.
Wednesday the 2nd sees even smaller surf: 2ft from the west with onshore wind. Thursday the 3rd picks up a little: 5ft swell from the WSW, moderate energy (178), but a fresh 18 mph cross-breeze and lumpy chop kill any quality. Friday the 4th is the biggest we get with 6ft and a strong 25 mph cross-wind—combined energy hits 219 (moderate). But for a beach/jetty spot like Kijkduin, that’s just messy, more suited to kites than a surfboard.
From Saturday the 5th onward, the swell drops and the wind stays problematic: mostly cross-onshore in the 12-18 mph range. There’s a brief clean spell on Monday the 7th with a light cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only 1ft—not worth it.
The second week is more of the same. On Thursday the 10th we get 4ft from the NW with moderate energy (120), but that fresh cross-onshore wind ruins it. Everything stays onshore or cross-onshore, short period, poor quality. The best you could hope for is the clean but tiny Monday the 7th morning—if you just want to sit on the water.
Nothing here gets me excited. No standout days, no clean groundswell, no glass. We just have to wait it out.
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.
