The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Kijkduin are looking pretty grim for paddle surfing. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, so don’t get your hopes up.
For the first week, from Tuesday 21 July right through to the end of the month, the surf is a no-go. The swell is tiny and weak, with energy barely registering (28) on Tuesday, and it stays flat for days. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, gusting up to 19 mph, making things choppy and messy. There’s a brief moment on Friday 24 July morning where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 2 ft from the north with a short period of 7 seconds – it’s just not enough to get excited about. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The only real chance of anything rideable comes right at the end of the period. On Friday 31 July, we get a little bump. The morning sees a clean offshore wind from the east, but the swell is a weak 2 ft from the north-northeast with a period of just 4 seconds – that’s barely a ripple. The afternoon is a touch better, with 3 ft of north swell and a period of 5 seconds, still clean with the cross-offshore wind. The energy is still low (37), but if you’re desperate for a splash, this is your best shot.
After that, we go back into the wind and chop from 1 August onwards. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. Kijkduin is a beach and jetty setup, so with the wind and small, weak swell, it’s more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now. Keep your board waxed and wait for the next change.
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.
