The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking.

Honestly, for the first week and a half, it's a bit of a bummer. Kijkduin is looking at a long stretch of poor conditions. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is weak and choppy. You're looking at a solid 9 days of nothing really worth paddling out for. The energy in the water is low, barely reaching triple digits on the 17th (108) but the wind just trashes it. It's a classic Dutch summer-into-autumn letdown.

Now, there's a glimmer. Saturday the 19th kicks up some significant size. We get a 6ft swell in the morning from the WSW, but it's blowing a strong 25 mph breeze. The energy jumps up (314), but that cross-off wind is going to make it a bumpy, messy battle. Not exactly fun. By the afternoon the swell hits 7ft and the wind is howling at 28 mph – that's big, messy, and only really for the hardcore lads. Honestly, at that point, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The whole north-west exposed beach here is just getting hammered.

The only real shot we get at something clean is Thursday the 24th. The morning shows a 4ft swell from the north, light wind from the east at just 3 mph, and clean conditions. The energy is moderate (120). Kijkduin is a beach/jetty setup, and while the swell direction is north, which isn't the optimum NNW, this is the one window where you might get a few ordinary but rideable waves with clean faces. It's nothing to write home about, but it's the best on offer. That's your standout, but keep expectations low.

After that, it drops right back down. The wind turns offshore at the end of the month, but the swell is tiny – 2ft to 3ft. It'll be clean and glassy, but flat. You might get a knee-high runner on the 26th if you're desperate.

So, a long dry spell, one very average Thursday morning, and then a return to small, clean conditions. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's looking sparse.

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.
