The Lowdown
Right, if you’re after a wave here for the next 16 days, you’re gonna be disappointed. Kijkduin ain’t offering anything worth getting wet for. The whole stretch is a flat spell with only scraps of weak, short-period windswell. The water is currently 69° – that’s much warmer than normal for the time of year, nearly 5° above average, which is a real oddity for the North Sea, but it won’t make the surf any better.
From now through to the 10th of August, it’s all poor surf conditions. Tiny waves, cross-onshore winds, and choppy mess. The combined energy barely breaks 50 (18 to 50), which is weak. There’s nothing to recommend. The first glimmer of something not completely terrible shows up on the morning of Tuesday, 11th August. The swell is only 3 ft from the NNW, with a weak 6-second period, but the wind is light and cross-off from the south, making it clean. The combined energy is 55, still weak, and the comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions”. It’s not a standout, just the least bad moment in a long, flat run.
After that, from the 12th onward, it’s back to poor surf – stronger winds, chop, and tiny waves. The 14th and 15th of August are particularly poor with strong onshore winds and energy dropping to single digits. For a beginner, even the 3 ft day is okay, but for anyone else, it’s a skip. Honestly, this is a classic blank run for the area. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking like a solid two weeks off.

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.
