The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Kijkduin’s got cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, the forecast is looking pretty grim for Kijkduin. There are no good surf options in the 16-day window. We’re stuck with a long stretch of poor conditions, and it’s going to be a tough run for anyone keen on getting wet. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 4°F above average, so at least the water’s not gonna bite if you’re just having a paddle.
The first week is basically a write-off. A few pulses of swell pop up, like Saturday 5th September with 5ft of messy NW windswell at 7 seconds, but the wind is howling from the WNW at 15 mph, making it onshore and ugly. The combined energy is a moderate 237, but the quality is poor. Sunday 6th sees a drop to 2ft and 2ft with a cross-off breeze, but the swell is too small and weak – energy barely reaching 55.
Monday 7th is hopeless, with tiny 2ft, 4-second junk. By Tuesday 8th, the wind is howling at 19 mph from the SW, cross-shore and lumpy, with 3 to 4ft of short-period slop. Wednesday 9th gets the biggest swell of the window – 5ft from the NW at 6 seconds, energy up to 139 – but it’s onshore wind again, ruining any chance of clean surf.
We do get a tiny window on Thursday 10th September. A glassy morning with 3ft of NNW swell, 7 seconds, and light NNE winds at 3 mph. The energy is weak at 65, and the commentary calls it "surfable but very ordinary." It’s the best we’ll see, but it’s still barely a session-saver.
After that, the surf fades fast. Friday 11th has 4ft but the period drops to 5 seconds and the wind is average. Saturday 12th sees another small bump with 5ft from the NW, energy at 147, but the wind is cross-shore. Then from Sunday 13th all the way through to Friday 18th, the swell flatlines. Wave heights drop below 2ft, and the combined energy is in the single digits or zero. It’s a full week of nothing.
Friday 18th morning shows a tiny flicker of life: 3ft from the NNW at 5 seconds, clean with light ESE winds, but only 42 energy. The next morning, Saturday 19th, we get a glassy start with 2ft, 8-second period from the NNW. The period is decent, and the glassy wind makes it look clean, but the energy is only 58. It’s another small, ordinary session.
From there, the forecast runs out of steam completely. Sunday 20th has nothing worth paddling out for.
So, the honest truth? Kijkduin has no proper standouts. The best of a bad bunch is Thursday 10th September morning, if you’re desperate for a glassy, small-wave fix. The water’s warm and the wind is calm, but the swell is tiny and weak.
Stay patient, lads. The forecast might change, but right now it’s a long blank run.
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.
