The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got the Kijkduin forecast in front of me, and I gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch ahead. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off.
The water’s sitting at 70°, which is a massive 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, like wearing boardshorts in August but with zero waves to enjoy.
We start off with Saturday the 22nd and right through to Monday the 25th, it’s all poor surf conditions. Swell is tiny, wind is messy – cross-on or onshore junk. On Tuesday the 26th, swell drops to just 0.7ft and it’s dead flat by Wednesday the 27th with no swell at all. From there, we get a few pulses of waist-high slop – like Friday the 28th morning showing 4ft from the WSW (combined energy of 83) but it’s still scored as poor surf. A small window on Friday afternoon has a score of 1 out of 10 but the waves are described as ‘surfable but very ordinary’ – that’s being generous. We also see a 5ft swell on Tuesday afternoon September 1st (combined energy of 110) but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy. The pattern stays weak and windy right through to Sunday the 6th of September. Nothing stands out, no clean swell lining up with decent wind.
Honestly, for a beach/jetty setup like Kijkduin that’s exposed to the NNW, the short-period windswell is all we’ve got, and it’s not doing us any favours. The combined energy never rises above moderate (152 is the highest spike), and that’s always paired with on or cross-onshore wind. This stretch looks more interesting for the kite crew than surfers. We’ve got a long gap with nothing to recommend – basically the full 16 days is a blank run. It happens here.
Stay patient.
– 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.
