The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty again, talking in feet and miles per hour.

Looking over this 16-day stretch for Kijkduin, it’s a tough go. The pattern is ugly for a long stretch. Starting out Wednesday morning the 19th, we've got a weak 2ft NNW windswell with a short 5-second period and a cross-onshore wind making it a choppy, poor-conditions mess. That’s the theme for the rest of August: wave heights bouncing between 2ft and 4ft but with cross-on, cross-shore, or fresh winds from the west and northwest ripping the surface apart. The energy is mostly weak to moderate (combined energy in the teens to low 90s) and the quality is just plain bad.

There’s a multi-day dry spell with nothing to ride. As we hit early September, we get more size but the wind still ruins it. On Monday the 31st of August and Tuesday the 1st of September, we see swell pushing 5ft to 6ft from the WSW (combined energy 155 to 214), but it’s all cross-onshore and choppy. That’s a fight, not a surf session.

The only real glimmer comes late in the outlook. Thursday the 3rd of September and also Friday the 28th of August had 5ft swell from the west with clean cross-offshore wind (combined energy 125), which is decent. But for a true standout, look at Saturday the 29th of August. The morning is tiny, but the afternoon shows a solid 4ft swell from the WSW (combined energy 102) with a solid 22 mph offshore wind from the SE. That offshore wind will clean it up, but with that much wind it’ll be lumpy. The period is a short 6 seconds, so waves will be fat and sectiony, not long walls. It’s a beach/jetty spot, so it’ll be a bit bumpy and require some work. Crowds are “sometimes”, so you won’t be alone. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got in a poor run where the wind actually helps.

Water temp is about 71° - way warmer than usual, which makes the waiting more bearable.

Hang in there.

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.
