The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here with the long-range look for our local stretch. Let’s be straight up: it’s going to be a quiet couple of weeks, with hardly anything worth paddling out for.

We’re looking at Kijkduin (beach/jetty), and right now the water temp is feeling pretty average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there. The problem is, for the first week and a half, the wave energy is basically a whisper. We’re talking combined energy readings mostly below 100, often down in the single digits or teens. That’s flat to tiny, weak stuff. Kijkduin needs a solid push from somewhere, and we just aren’t getting it.

From now through the start of September, there’s nothing to report. A couple of mornings will have clean, offshore wind conditions, but with swell heights of 0.6ft to 0.9ft and short periods of only 5 to 6 seconds, there’s simply no wave to ride. It’s a lake out there. There’s a slight bump around the 28th and 29th of August, with the swell lifting to 4ft to 6ft from the WSW and energy climbing to 205, but the wind is a problem. It’s a fresh cross-shore wind up to 18 mph, making for lumpy, choppy conditions. That’s a messy, blown-out combo, not really surfable. Honestly, that kind of wind and chop might make it more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The real kicker is on the 8th and 9th of September. We finally see some proper power show up. On the 8th, the swell picks up to 6ft from the W, with energy hitting 261. Then on the 9th, we get the stand-out of the whole outlook: 6ft from the WSW, with a combined energy of 377. That’s moderate to strong energy. A 6ft swell is solid, pushing into the zone where beginners should be cautious. But, and it’s a big but, the wind is still a fresh 18 to 22 mph cross-shore, creating a lumpy cross-chop. The direction is from the WSW, which is right in Kijkduin’s optimum window for swell, but the wind just ruins it. If the wind backs off, there could be some punchy, powerful waves, but as it stands, it’s a messy, challenging session for experienced surfers only.

For the rest of the second week, we drop back down below 3ft and the energy fades. It’s another stretch of poor surf.

If you’re desperate, keep an eye on the 9th of September. It’s the one moment where there’s enough ocean to make it interesting, but you’ll be battling the wind. Otherwise, it’s a long wait.

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.
