The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's face it, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for any decent surf. We've got a few pulses of swell, but the wind just won't play ball, keeping everything messy and blown out.
The water is sitting at a very warm 69° for this time of year, which is much warmer than the long-term average. That's about the only positive.
First up, we have a tiny bit of energy on Thursday morning, the 27th of August. Kijkduin (Netherlands) has a weak 0.7 ft of swell from the north with a pathetic 4-second period and next to no energy (2). The wind is a cross-off, but honestly, there's nothing to ride. It's a flat, non-starter.
The rest of the week is a total bust. Friday the 28th through Monday the 31st of August sees a small increase in swell, but it's all cross-shore junk. The wind is a moderate to fresh breeze, just chopping everything up. The wave energy stays weak (between 34 and 168). Not worth a look.
Then we hit a big gap. From Tuesday the 1st of September through to Thursday the 10th, it's a real mixed bag of onshore wind and small, weak swell. The energy is all over the place, but the wind is consistently onshore or cross-onshore, making for choppy, poor conditions. There's a blip on Saturday the 5th of September with a bigger 8 ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is a strong cross-shore breeze (25 mph) and the energy is moderate (532). That's a kite surfer's dream, not a surfer's. The wave quality is just too crap for a paddle.
The final few days from Thursday the 11th of September are more of the same. Onshore wind and a messy, low-energy sea state. The best of the run is on Friday the 11th of September afternoon with a 6 ft swell from the west, but the wind is onshore, so it's a write-off.
Honestly, this is one of those frustrating stretches where the forecast is just a blank wall. This area can be like that. It's a fairly consistent stretch of coast, so it's not usually this poor for this long, and the forecasts can change. But as it stands, leave the board in the car and save your energy.
Rusty.

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.
