The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the lowdown on what’s happening for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim start. For the first two weeks, starting from Friday the 11th, we’re looking at a real dry spell. The set-up at Kijkduin is just not cooperating. The water temp is sitting around 68°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only interesting thing going on. For days, we’re seeing weak, short-period swells and almost constant onshore or cross-shore winds. Even when the wind does go cross-offshore, the swell energy is next to nothing, with readings as low as 2. So you’re looking at a solid stretch of poor conditions. There’s a bit of a push on Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th where the swell height bumps up to around 4-5ft, and the combined energy gets into the moderate range (149 and 109). But the wind is a fresh onshore breeze making a mess of it. That’s more of a kite-surfing situation than a paddle-surfing one. Not worth getting your hopes up.
Then, after all that waiting, things finally look a little more promising right at the end of the period. On Friday the 25th, we get a clean-up. The morning shows a building 4ft swell from the north, with a period of 7 seconds, and a moderate cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy reads a moderate 110. It’s not world-class, but after two weeks of nothing, it’s something. The real standout, the true highlight of the whole forecast, is the Friday afternoon session. We’ve got a 3ft north swell, a period of 6 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. That’s right, glassy conditions with a slight air. That will turn an ordinary wave into a clean, fun little wave. It’s surfable and very ordinary conditions, but with that glass, it’s your best shot. After that, Saturday the 26th gets hammered by 25 mph onshore winds, so don’t sleep on Friday.
So, to sum it up: suffer through the next two weeks, and keep your eyes locked on Friday the 25th afternoon. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.
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.
