The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be honest, the next couple of weeks at Kijkduin are looking pretty bleak. We’ve got a long stretch ahead with hardly anything to get excited about. Our first proper look at something worth paddling out for doesn’t come around until Wednesday the 23rd of September, and even then, it's borderline.
The overall energy is missing for most of the run. For the first week and a half, it’s a mix of tiny waves, short-period windswell, and mostly cross or onshore breezes messing up what little shape there is. From Monday the 14th right through to Tuesday the 22nd, the forecasts are full of “poor surf conditions.” The combined swell energy stays low, mostly under 100, and even the days with a bit more push (like the 6 ft on Thursday the 17th) are plagued by fresh, lumpy cross-shore winds. It’s just not worth it.
The only real standout in this whole 16-day window, and I mean the only one worth your time, is the Wednesday the 23rd of September morning session. The swell picks up to 6 ft from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 572 – that's moderate to strong energy, finally enough to shake things up at this beach/jetty spot. The wind is light cross-onshore from the NNE at just 3 mph, so the surface will be clean, with just small wind ripples. It’s still a bit of a north-westerly swell hitting an exposed joint, but it’s the best-looking pulse we get. This one is for the intermediate crew – it's not big enough for the experts only, but at 6 ft it might be too much for beginners. Crowds can be a factor here sometimes.
That pulse fades fast. Thursday the 24th drops back to 3 ft, and by Friday the 25th we’re back to tiny, weak surf. The end of the window on Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th has some offshore winds, but the swell heights are pathetic (2 ft to 5 ft) and the period is short and weak. The water temperature on the 14th was 67°, which is 4° warmer than usual – that’s much warmer than normal for mid-September, so you won’t need a full winter suit just yet.
So, bottom line: save your energy for the 23rd of September morning. The rest is a whole lot of not much.
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.
