The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, mate. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I'm gonna be honest with you – it's a bit grim. We've got a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about, so don't be in a rush to wax up.
Alright, so the first few days are a write-off. We're looking at Wednesday the 22nd of July through to the end of the month, and it's just a flat spell. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the shop – mostly onshore or cross-onshore – and it's just messy. Wave energy is weak, barely getting into double digits (51 on the Wednesday morning, but with poor surf conditions). There's no stand-out day in that first week. It's a proper gap, almost nine days of nothing worth paddling for.
Now, looking further out, the first glimmer of something that might be okay comes very late in the run. Let's talk about Monday the 3rd of August. It's not a swell of any size, barely 0.7 ft, but the quality is interesting. The morning has a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the ENE, and by the afternoon it goes glassy, with a calm wind. The swell period climbs to 10 seconds, which is a decent groundswell, but it's tiny. The combined wave energy is a mere 11. For a spot like Kijkduin, a beach/jetty setup, a long-period swell this small often just means a bit of movement, not a real wave. The good news is the water is much warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 69°F.
Honestly, if the swell had any size, Monday afternoon on the 3rd of August would be the pick, but as it is, it's more of a chance to get wet and practice your pop-up in glassy conditions. But we're not seeing any real, rideable surf. The only other day with a whisper of potential is Wednesday the 5th of August, but again, it's a small 2 ft cross-shore swell with a short period, so it's not going to be clean or powerful.
So, to wrap it up: the whole 16-day window is a bit of a bust. There's no decent swell to speak of, and the consistent onshore winds just ruin what little there is. It's one of those blank runs that's more normal for this area. Don't hold your breath. The forecasts can change, but for now, this is a week or two to fix the dings and watch the cams.

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.
