The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, letting you know what’s what.
Honestly, it’s a pretty flat stretch for Kijkduin over the next two weeks. The first week and a half looks like a write-off for any proper paddle surfing. We’ve got a big gap of nothing all the way from now, Friday the 31st of July, right through to the 9th of August. Even then, the waves are tiny and the wind just won’t play nice. You’re looking at weak, short-period dribble most days with barely enough energy to stand up on. The water temperature is sitting at 69°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than normal for the time of year – that’s very unusual, feels like bath water.
Things finally perk up a little by Monday the 10th of August. There’s a modest pulse of NW swell, around 4ft, with a period of 5 seconds. The combined energy is a moderate 65. The morning has that classic ENE cross-off breeze, so expect clean little lines. It’s still not pumping, but for Kijkduin, this is the window to have a crack. It's a beach and jetty setup, so keep an eye out for rips. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so you might have some company. Because the swell is under 5ft, it’s fine for intermediates.
Tuesday the 11th of August morning offers another clean session with E cross-off winds and a similar NNW swell of 3ft (energy at 102). Again, not big, but clean. After that, the window shrinks and we’re back to tiny, choppy conditions.
To be blunt, there’s no true standout in this 16-day run. The Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th mornings are the best on offer, but they’re just surfable, not incredible.
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.
