The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks at Kijkduin.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the immediate forecast is a bit of a bummer. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions staring us down. From now through the end of next week, it’s pretty much a write-off. The wind is kicking up from the west and northwest, creating messy, choppy, cross-onshore slop. Swell is small and weak, with wave energy barely making it into three digits, topping out at a paltry 220 kW/m. The water is sitting around 68°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only nice thing I can say. You’d be fighting a losing battle out there.
The real news, and the only bright spot in the whole outlook, arrives on the 28th of September. Finally, the wind shifts. That morning we’ll see a gentle offshore breeze from the SE, cleaning things up nicely. The swell jumps up to a solid 7ft from the WSW at 7 seconds, with a combined energy of 448 kW/m. This is a moderate swell setup, and with offshore wind, Kijkduin is going to have some punchy, rideable waves. It’s got “expect good surf conditions” written all over it. The afternoon gets even better – a light SSE offshore, waves building to 8ft from the WSW at 8 seconds. That’s a proper dose of energy at 822 kW/m, promising very good surf. Keep in mind, at over 8ft, this is strictly for the experienced crew; beginners should sit this one out. The sets will have some power behind them, so you’ll want to be on your game. This is the day to watch.
After that brief highlight, conditions start to slip again. Late on the 29th and into the 30th, the winds turn cross-shore and cross-onshore, and the quality fades fast. So, the takeaway is simple: you have a long, dry spell until that promising Monday the 28th rolls around. If you can wait, that’s your window for the best surf on offer.
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.
