The Lowdown
Alright, let’s see what we’ve got for Kijkduin.
To be honest, mate, it’s a tough stretch ahead. The first week and a half are looking pretty grim. From Saturday 29 August right through to the morning of Wednesday 10 September, it’s a real write-off. The wind is almost always on it or cross-shore, often strong, and the surf quality is just poor. You’ll see some decent swell heights pop up – like 6ft on Monday morning and 7ft on Saturday 5 September – but with onshore winds and lumpy, messy conditions, it’s not worth paddling out for. The combined energy gets up there too, like 301 (moderate) on Monday 31 August and 469 (moderate) on Saturday 5 September, but it’s all wasted. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The only real light in the tunnel comes on the morning of Thursday 10 September. That’s when we finally get a bit of a window. Kijkduin (beach/jetty) will see a 4ft swell from the NNW, with a long period of 10 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The wind will be a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW, which will keep things clean. The combined energy is 296 (moderate), so there’s some push. It’s not going to be world-class, but after all that wind, it’ll feel like a treat. The break is fairly consistent, so you can expect a few waves. Keep in mind the swell direction is NNW, which is not quite the optimum NNW, but it’s close enough. The long period means it might be a bit straight at this beach break, but the clean conditions will help.
After that, it drops off again. Friday and Saturday the 11th and 12th have small, weak surf, and then Sunday 13 September is just a strong breeze with no real swell. So, your best bet is to circle Thursday 10 September and make the most of it. Everything else is a write-off, I’m afraid.

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.
