The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Kijkduin.
Honestly, mate, it’s a bit of a tough stretch ahead. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and messy for the most part. We’ve got a long gap of really poor conditions before we finally see a tiny window of something surfable, but it’s not much to write home about. The water is sitting at 68°F on Tuesday morning, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit.
We start off on Tuesday, 28 July with a tiny swell, only 2ft coming from the NNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak (49), and with a cross-shore wind from the SW, it’s just messy. That theme continues day after day – tiny swells, poor wind, and no real push. The wind does go glassy on the morning of Saturday, 1st August, with a slight air from the SE, but the swell is only 1ft and the energy is practically nothing. It’s a flat, glassy lake, not surf.
The only real chance for a paddle comes on Tuesday, 4th August. The morning brings a 4ft swell from the north, with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is still low (86), but it’s the best we’ve got. The wind is light and cross-off from the E and ENE, which will keep the surface clean. It’s not a standout – the waves are ordinary and short period – but it’s the only time in the 16-day window that’s even surfable. The afternoon stays the same, so if you’re desperate for a grovel on a longboard, that’s your window. The break is a beach/jetty setup, and with crowds being sometimes, you might have a few others out.
After that, it’s back to tiny, choppy, and onshore junk for the rest of the forecast. The swell tries to pick up a little on Wednesday, 12th August afternoon with a 4ft from the WSW, but the period is short (6 seconds) and the wind is onshore from the NW. The energy is still low (77) and the conditions are just poor. There’s nothing else to get excited about.
So, to be straight with you: the best on offer is Tuesday, 4th August at Kijkduin. It’s the only time you’ll see a clean, cross-off wind and a little bit of height. Don’t expect any power, but it’s a paddle. The rest of the month is a write-off.

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.
