The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Kijkduin is a tough one. Honestly, there’s a long, bleak stretch of poor surf conditions ahead. The water is unusually warm for this time of year, running at 70°F, which is about 7°F warmer than normal – that’s a real anomaly.
The first decent chance doesn’t roll in until Saturday, August 1st, so we’re looking at a solid gap of about 12 days with nothing worth paddling out for. The wind finally swings offshore from the southeast, blowing at 15 mph, which will clean things up nicely. The swell is small, coming from the northwest at 3 ft with a short period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at 43. It’s surfable, but very ordinary – not a standout by any stretch.
Kijkduin is your only option, and it’s a beach/jetty setup that’s fairly consistent, but it’s exposed to the northwest. On the 1st, the offshore wind is the big positive, but the swell is tiny and short-period. It’ll be clean, but don’t expect much push. The crowd can be there sometimes, but with waves this small, it shouldn’t be packed.
The rest of the outlook is filled with onshore and cross-onshore winds, choppy conditions, and tiny swell. The brief spike of 5 ft swell on the 29th of July is ruined by a cross-onshore wind, so it’s a write-off. There’s nothing here that’s a true standout – just a single, average day on the 1st that’s worth a look if you’re desperate.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecasts – things can change.
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.
