The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the Kijkduin stretch over the next fortnight and a bit. Straight up, I gotta be honest with ya – this is gonna be a tough one. The forecast charts are showing a real dry spell for the most part, with long gaps of flat, messy, or just plain ugly conditions. You'll be waiting a while before you even want to paddle out.
The first solid chance we get is on Wednesday, September 16th. After a solid week of nothing good, things finally start to look interesting. The swell from the NW rolls in at a rideable 4 ft, period sitting at a middling 6 seconds – not the most powerful, but it's got some push. The wave energy is still light, hitting 95-117 (combined energy), but the wind? That's the real story here. On Wednesday morning, we get a light cross-offshore breeze from the SE making it clean, and by the afternoon it turns glassy with a SE wind at only 3 mph. That's a major positive for Kijkduin. This is the standout session. It's a beach and jetty setup, so while the period is short, those clean faces will be the best we see all forecast. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on.
Before that, it's a write-off. Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th through to Sunday the 13th are dominated by strong WNW winds, messy cross-onshore junk, and flat spells. You've got a 7 ft swell in there on the 9th, but with 25 mph winds straight on or cross-on, it's pure chaos – that's more kite-surfing territory than paddle surfing. Combined energy hits 482 in the afternoon, which is moderate, but the chop will be unsurfable.
After the clear window on the 16th, the outlook gets shaky again. Thursday and Friday the 17th and 18th see the swell drop back and the wind turns fresh and lumpy. There's a slight pulse again on Monday, September 22nd with 4 ft NW swell, but the morning winds are clean cross-off from the E. The wave energy is moderate at 135, and period is 7 seconds. It's surfable and clean, but nothing to write home about compared to the glassy session earlier. It's worth a paddle if you missed the 16th. From the 23rd onwards, the chart flatlines. No swell at all.
So, to keep it simple: Mark your calendar for Wednesday the 16th. That's your best shot at some clean, fun waves at Kijkduin. The rest of the period is mostly flat or blown out. Don't expect much before that. Stay patient, and keep an eye on the sky.

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.
