The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next 16 days at Kijkduin are a total bust. Not a single session is worth paddling out for, so we’re looking at a long, empty stretch.
From Monday the 7th right through the whole period, it’s nearly all onshore or cross-shore winds, short-period slop, and waves that are either too small or too messy to even think about. The water is 68°F on Monday morning, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year – about 5°F above the long-term average – so that’s a nice bonus if you’re just wading, but the surf is cooked.
There’s a tiny window on the 15th and 16th with some cross-off breezes and a little NNW swell, but we’re talking about 1ft to 2ft max – just ankle-knockers. The wave energy is weak, with combined swell energy readings in the teens and 20s. Not worth peeling the wetsuit off.
The only time the swell gets any size is around the 17th of September through to the 21st, when we start seeing some 6ft to 8ft NW swell. But don’t get stoked. The wind is ugly – strong cross-onshore at 18-28 mph, turning the place into a frothy, messy chop. The combined energy jumps way up into the 300s, 500s, and even 700s, but that’s just raw power with zero shape. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. The period is short (6-9 seconds), so it’s bumpy, windblown junk.
The final days, like the 22nd, fade back to tiny, weak, onshore slop.
Bottom line: There’s nothing to get excited about. Not a single standout. The whole 16 days is a washout. If you absolutely have to get wet, maybe the 15th or 16th with those light cross-off winds and clean conditions might give you a couple of knee-high, crumbly waves, but it’s a long shot. For now, leave the board in the van.
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.
