The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for us at Kijkduin.
To be brutally honest, this is a bit of a rough stretch ahead. The forecast is really struggling to line up any decent surf with clean conditions. We’ve got a 16-day window here, and the first real sniff of anything worthwhile doesn't show up until the morning of Friday the 6th of September. That’s a pretty big gap of flat, choppy, or just plain messy conditions to sit through before we get anything to talk about. Even then, it's not exactly a winner.
The only half-decent window looks like the morning of Saturday the 12th of September. There’s a pulse of energy coming in from the NNW, pushing a 4ft swell into our exposed beach. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s not going to have much grunt behind it, but the combined swell energy hits 167 —moderate stuff. The real kicker is the wind: a light 9 mph breeze from the ENE, coming off the land. That should lay the surface right out and give us some clean lines. For Kijkduin, that’s the best we’re going to get, with the morning offering some clean, cross-off waves. The crowds can be an issue here sometimes, and with a pretty slim pickings, you can bet there will be a few out.
That morning of the 12th is your best bet. Don’t hold your breath for the rest of it.
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.
