Alright, Rusty here, looking at the local surf outlook for Kijkduin.
Truth be told, it’s shaping up to be a pretty quiet run for a while. We’ve got a long gap of dud surf stretching from now all the way through to the morning of July 24th. That’s nearly two weeks of small, messy windswell and onshore crud. Almost every session is tagged with poor conditions, and the energy figures are tiny – often below 100 – so there’s not much to get excited about. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
The first real glimmer of something worthwhile shows up on the morning of Saturday, July 25th. That’s your standout window. A 6-ft swell from the west (optimum direction for Kijkduin) rolls in with a clean 6-second period, and the wind is a light, cross-offshore breeze from the east at 9 mph. That’s a rare clean setup. The combined swell energy hits a moderate 300, so there’s some grunt. This one’s for intermediate crew – 6-ft is getting into the bigger range but not out of hand. The downside? Kijkduin can get crowded sometimes, so expect company if the surf’s good.
Following that, the Saturday afternoon drops a bit to 5-ft from the west, period still 6 seconds, with a gentle cross-shore breeze. It’s more marginal, but still rideable. Then Sunday morning, July 26th, fades fast – a smaller 3-ft west-southwest swell with light offshore wind from the east-southeast. The energy is weak at 64, so that’s just a small clean wave to finish the run.
Nothing else in the 16-day window is worth paddling out for. It’s been a flat spell, but when the 25th hits, be on it early.

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.
