The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking like a proper bummer for surfing at Kijkduin. There’s a massive gap of nothing worth paddling out for until we get to mid-month. From now, right through until Tuesday the 16th, it’s just a run of poor surf conditions. The water’s sitting at a warm 68°F for the first session mentioned – about 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a fair bit toastier than normal, but you won’t be bothered by that because the waves are a write-off.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Wednesday the 16th in the morning. Kijkduin (beach/jetty) is serving up a clean 5ft swell out of the WNW with a period of 6 seconds and combined energy of 171 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-off from the ENE, keeping surfaces tidy, but the conditions are only rated as “surfable but very ordinary.” It’s not a standout, just the first sign of life.
Now, the true standout – the only one worth circling on your calendar – is Thursday the 17th in the morning. Kijkduin flips the script. You’ve got a 6ft swell rolling in from the NW with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy of 318 (moderate to strong). The wind is pure offshore from the SE, light at 6 mph, and the sky is clear. That’s a recipe for clean, lined-up surf. The guidance says this spot is exposed to swell and prefers NNW direction, so a NW swell is a damn good match. Expect good surf conditions, with those offshore winds making the faces smooth. At 6ft, it’s still OK for confident intermediates, but beginners might find it a bit much. With crowds possible here, get your timing right.
After that, Thursday afternoon sees the wind shift to a light cross-onshore and the energy drops, so the morning is the clear target. The rest of the forecast into the third week is mostly flat or onshore junk. The 21st shows a 6ft NNE swell with strong energy (351) but onshore NW winds, so it’s a messy one – maybe one for the kite crew, not the paddle surfers.
Overall, a long dry spell, then one morning on the 17th that could be a ripper. Lock it in.
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.
