The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. We're looking at Kijkduin (beach/jetty) for the next couple of weeks. It's been a tough stretch and I'll be honest, the pickings are slim. The water is a balmy 70°, which is a good five degrees warmer than normal for this time of year – that's pretty unusual, but it’s the only bit of luck we’re getting.
From right now, you’re looking at a solid run of no-go conditions. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, coming straight out of the NNW, and the swell is either too small or just plain messy. You’ve got a moderate wave energy of 114 on Saturday the 22nd morning, with a 4ft NNW swell, but that’s ruined by the 12 mph cross-onshore wind. It’s the same story day after day – wind’s just not playing ball.
We do get a tiny window of glassy conditions on Wednesday the 26th morning, with the wind dropping to a dead calm and the sea like glass, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft. Might as well be a lake. That glassy period is the best the wind will be all forecast.
The real interest doesn’t show up until Friday the 4th of September afternoon. This is the only standout in the whole run. The swell jumps to 8ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits a strong 836. That’s proper grunt. The wind is only a light breeze at 6 mph from the WSW, so it’s just a light cross-onshore ripple. It won’t be glassy, but it’ll be clean enough. 8ft is big – this is for experienced surfers only. Given it’s a beach/jetty set-up with a short period, expect it to be a bit dumpy and closing out in places, but there will be some heavy, sucky walls for those who can handle it. For the rest of the time, the conditions are poor, with strong winds and lumpy seas. Honestly, for much of the second week, the onshore wind and messy cross-chop makes this look more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
Hang in there, the 4th of September is the one to circle, but keep an eye on the forecasts – things are bound to turn around eventually.
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.
