The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Kijkduin has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a grim start. The whole run from Wednesday the 29th of July right through to Sunday the 9th of August is looking pretty flat and messy, with nearly constant cross-onshore winds. There's a solid two-week stretch of poor surf conditions. The only flicker of something resembling a wave is on Tuesday morning the 4th of August, where we see a 4ft swell from the NNE with a clean cross-offshore wind. Even then, the combined wave energy is only 125 (moderate), so it’s not exactly firing. But it is clean, which for this forecast is a huge win.
Honestly, for almost the entire period, the swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is junk. Most of these days you'd be looking at 1.0ft to 2ft waves with weak energy readings down in the single or low double digits. It's the kind of setup that looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a surfer on a paddle board, especially with those fresh breezes.
Now, if you’re patient and willing to wait, there is *one* standout moment. It's not exactly pumping, but it’s the best we've got. On Saturday the 8th of August, the morning session at Kijkduin looks like our best bet. We've got a 3ft swell from the W, and more importantly, a light S wind that’s cross-offshore, making for clean conditions. The combined wave energy is 53, so still weak, but the guide says it's "surfable waves." For this area, with this forecast, that's as good as it gets. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.
After that, it’s back to the usual mess of choppy, cross-onshore slop through until the end of the forecast window on Thursday the 13th of August.
So, in short, if you're desperate for a surf, your only real window is the morning of Saturday the 8th of August at Kijkduin. It won't be epic, but it'll be clean. The rest of the time, save your energy.
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.
