Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with each other: this outlook for Kijkduin is a long, tough stretch. The entire 16-day window is a real struggle for surfable waves, but we’ll break it down day by day.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a big gap right at the start. From Wednesday the 8th of July right through until the morning of Monday the 20th of July, there’s simply nothing worth paddling out for. Every session is marked as poor surf conditions. Wind is a constant problem, mostly cross-onshore, onshore, or just messy and strong, and the swell is tiny – rarely getting above 2ft, with short, weak periods. The combined swell energy stays under 100 (as low as 4) right up until late in the run, so weak doesn’t even cover it. It’s a bleak stretch for anyone trying to surf.

Now, we finally get a flicker of hope on the morning of Monday the 20th of July. For that one morning session, the score finally edges above zero, hitting a 1. Kijkduin is a beach/jetty setup, exposed to swell from the NNW, and the optimum direction is from the NW. On Monday morning we’ve got a small 2ft swell coming from the N, with an 8-second period. The combined swell energy climbs to a modest 57. The wind is from the ENE at 9 mph, which is a nice cross-offshore breeze, leaving the water clean. It’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That is our one and only standout window. The swell direction is NNW, so close to the optimum, and the wind is clean. But it’s small, and the period is still short (8 seconds is right on the edge of being meaningful). This is not a day for beginners; the swell is under 5ft, so it’s fine for intermediates, but the quality is just very ordinary. There won’t be much power. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so it could get a bit busy with everyone chasing the same slim pickings.

After that brief moment, it’s right back to poor conditions for the rest of the period, with onshore winds and fading swell. There is one interesting note on the afternoon of Thursday the 16th of July, where the wind goes completely glassy (0 mph from the ENE), but the swell is only 1ft with a 5-second period – so flat and gutless despite the perfection.

So to sum it up: this is a tough one. It’s a two-week blank with one morning in the third week that might give you a couple of small, clean waves. Don’t get your hopes up, but if you’re desperate, Monday the 20th of July morning is the only window.

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.
