The Lowdown
Gutted, folks. I’ve stared at the charts for the next couple of weeks and honestly, it’s a bleak picture for a wave. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing to get excited about. There’s a gap of about five days from now until we see anything worth even paddling out for, and even then, it’s a marginal call.
The first real glimpse of hope comes this Sunday morning (the 6th). Kijkduin (South Holland) will see a bump of 2ft from the NNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The magic here is the wind: a gentle offshore from the SE. It’s going to be clean, glassy, and about as good as it gets for this stretch, but the energy is weak, a combined swell energy of just 56. It’s small, it’s gutless, but it’s surfable. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Don’t expect much, but if you’re frothing, this is your window.
Looking ahead to the following Thursday (the 10th), there’s a bit more size on the cards. We’re looking at 6ft to 7ft from the WSW, but the period is short and the wind is a cross-off from the S, keeping it clean-ish. The energy is moderate (274-367), but the forecast is marginal at best. It’ll be lumpy, but there’s a chance of a fun one. Still, nothing to write home about.
After that, it’s a flat, ugly mess. The middle of the month sees the swell drop right out, with winds swinging onshore and blowing hard. It’s a proper blank run for the area. For the first proper week, there’s just nothing on the table.
The only real standout in the whole 16 days is that Sunday morning. It’s not big, but it’s clean. For a beach break like Kijkduin, that offshore wind is everything. Weigh it all up – the clean conditions, the direction lining up with the optimum – and that’s your best bet. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got. The longer-range stuff is just too inconsistent to trust, and the swell direction is all over the shop. We’ll need a serious change in the weather pattern to get this place cranking again.
Stay patient.

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.
