The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – we’re in for a pretty flat and frustrating stretch here at Kijkduin. The next 16 days are looking grim, with no real standout sessions to get excited about. The forecast is basically a long, quiet run of tiny, weak, and often messy conditions. There’s a gap right from the start, with the first few days offering nothing but ankle-biters. The whole period is a struggle, with a couple of brief moments that barely qualify as surfable.
Alright, let’s walk through it. The first real blip of hope pops up on Tuesday, August 11th. On the morning, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the NNW, with a clean cross-offshore wind from the SSW at just 3 mph. The water is a balmy 70°, which is a whopping 6° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a proper anomaly, way warmer than usual. The combined wave energy is weak at just 51, so it’s not going to have any punch. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. A bit of a tease, really. The afternoon turns back to onshore wind and poor conditions.
Then we skip ahead to Monday, August 17th. The morning session shows a slightly more interesting pulse: a 4ft swell from the NNW, which is the biggest we’ll see. The wind is clean and cross-offshore from the south at 12 mph, and the combined energy has ramped up to a moderate 119. The swell period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s windswell, not groundswell. It’s still marked as poor surf conditions, but this is the best you’re going to get. It’s a decent size for a beach break, but with that short period and onshore wind forecast for the afternoon, it’s not going to be a classic. The morning window is your only chance.
Honestly, with the consistently poor quality and the onshore winds that dominate most of the period, Kijkduin looks more like a kite-surfing zone than a paddle-surfing one on a few of those days, especially around Wednesday, August 5th when we’ve got 4ft-5ft waves and a strong 22 mph cross-shore.
There’s not a single day I’d call a standout. The best on offer is the morning of Monday, August 17th, but don’t expect much. It’s a long, quiet window ahead.
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.
