Rusty again, same story, different numbers. Let's be real, the next couple of weeks aren't giving us much to work with at all. It's a long, quiet stretch ahead for Kijkduin.
Kijkduin is the only spot we've got info on, and it's a bleak picture. From this Saturday morning, July 4th, all the way through to July 19th, it's a complete run of poor surf conditions. We've got a few days with some waist-high slop, but the wind is the enemy. For the first week, it's mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds, blowing hard from the west and northwest, keeping everything choppy and messy. The swell energy is weak, barely cracking 86 on the best day, which is Sunday the 5th, with a 4ft NW swell. But with a 25 km/h onshore wind, that's just blown-out junk.
The tiny bit of swell we see on the 9th and 10th of July is only 2ft with a short period of 7-8 seconds from the north. Even though the wind is lighter, the energy is super weak, around 45 or less. There's a little pocket of cleaner conditions on Saturday the 11th of July morning with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft with barely any energy at all (11). You'd be fighting for a dribble.
After that, from the 12th of July right through to the 19th of July, it's a total desert. Most days show no swell direction or height, with zero combined energy. The wind is all over the place, and there's just nothing to ride. The best you could hope for is a knee-high ripple on the 18th of July afternoon with a 3ft west swell, but the period is a shocking 4 seconds. It's a total flat spell.
This is a classic Scheveningen-area summer lull. The water temp is about average for this time of year; nothing wild going on there. But as for surf, there's just no love in the forecast. You might see some kite surfers having a go on those windy days later in the window, but for us paddle surfers, it's a board-off kind of period. It tends not to stay this poor for long, so keep an eye out, but for now, the waves are a no-show.
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.
