The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Kijkduin over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it's a bit of a tough stretch. The forecast is pretty bleak for the entire 16-day window. Every single session is flagged as poor surf conditions, so there's no real standout day to get excited about. We're looking at a long, quiet run here.
The first date we've got anything to talk about is Sunday, August 2nd. There's a tiny 1 ft swell from the NNW, but with a weak period of 6 seconds and poor energy (6), it's barely a bump. The water is a very unusual 69.8°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only highlight. The wind is a light cross-off, so it would be clean, but there's just nothing to ride.
Monday the 3rd is even smaller, with 0.7 ft to 1 ft. The wind swings around, but the swell is just too tiny to bother with. This pattern of tiny, weak swell continues right through until the morning of Tuesday, August 11th. On that morning, we finally see a jump to 5.9 ft from the NW with a period of 7 seconds. The energy bumps up to 275 (moderate), but the wind is onshore, and the conditions are still classed as poor. That afternoon drops to 4.6 ft, but it's still a cross-on wind. This is the biggest swell of the whole forecast, but it's not clean.
From Wednesday the 12th onward, the swell drops back down, and the winds get stronger, with some brutal 25 mph onshore days on the 13th. The whole second week is a write-off, with tiny, weak swell and messy winds.
Honestly, there’s nothing here worth paddling out for. The sea is flat, or it's blown out. If you're desperate, you might get a knee-high wave on the morning of the 11th, but it won't be pretty. This is just one of those blank spells for the area. Keep the board in the shed and wait for a better forecast.

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.
