The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s be straight: Kijkduin is looking mostly flat and blown out for the next couple of weeks. Small swell, wrong wind, and not a lot to get excited about. The main swell direction is from the north to northwest, but the energy is low.
From Saturday the 15th through to around Tuesday the 20th, expect tough going. Swell heights are 1.0 ft to 5 ft (mostly under 3 ft) with short, weak periods of 4 to 6 seconds. Wind is all over the place – cross-shore, cross-onshore, and moderate to fresh. The water temp is pretty much average for the season.
Wednesday the 19th morning brings a pulse to 7 ft from the WSW, with a combined energy of 348 (moderate), but the wind is onshore at 12 mph, making it a messy affair. Afternoon drops to 4 ft with a cross-onshore breeze – still rough.
The rest of the week stays poor. Thursday the 20th has some size (5 ft) but a fresh cross-onshore spoils it. By Saturday the 22nd, we’re back under 2 ft.
Now, here’s your one good window. Tuesday morning, the 25th of August. Swell is only 3 ft from the NNW, but the wind goes glassy – 3 mph from the NE. Combined energy is just 48 (weak), but it will be clean and smooth. Best bet for a log or a small-wave board.
Wednesday the 26th morning sees a light offshore wind (SSE, 3 mph) on a 1.0 ft wave – clean but tiny.
With all that cross-onshore and onshore wind on the bigger, lumpy days, this spot will be better suited to kite surfing than traditional paddle surfing for most of the period. After the 25th, it fades out again. A long, quiet stretch overall.
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.
