Alright, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you – this 16-day stretch for Kijkduin is a tough one. We've got a long dry spell on our hands, so strap in.
The outlook starts with no real surf to speak of. From Saturday the 4th through to Monday the 13th, the waves are mostly tiny, generally in the 1 ft to 3 ft range, and the winds are almost always cross-onshore or onshore, leaving it choppy and poor. The combined swell energy is weak, stuck down between 3 and 67. It’s basically a flat spell. The water temp on the 4th is 68°, which is a whopping 7° warmer than usual for this time of year—very unusual. Don’t get your hopes up.
The only slight glimmer of a chance comes a long way out. On Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th, there’s a tiny lift with swell from the WSW direction, getting up to 2 ft but with a short period of just 4-5 seconds. The combined energy finally creeps up to 20-29, though that's still nothing special. Winds are light variable and then onshore, so the quality won't be there. By Friday the 18th, it's back to lumpy and choppy cross-onshore junk.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a standout, there isn’t one. The setup at Kijkduin, a beach and jetty spot exposed to the NNW, just isn't getting the love from the swell or the wind in this window. The whole 16 days is a write-off for decent paddle surfing. With the persistent poor surf conditions and the dominant westerly and north-westerly winds, you’d have more fun on a kite than a surfboard here.
Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, it’s a bust.
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.
