The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Kijkduin has in store for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it is a pretty grim run to start with. We are looking at a long, flat stretch from now, starting on the 25th of August, all the way through to the morning of the 9th of September with absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. That’s a proper dry spell. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 69°F right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s little comfort when there's no surf. Most of the time the wind is either cross or cross-on, and the swell just isn't showing up. A couple of days in late August see the combined energy bump up to moderate levels, like on the 29th (187) and the 30th (100), but the wind is just too messy to make it any good. By the 31st, the swell gets up to 7ft with a cross-on gale, so that’s a skip. Even into the first week of September, it's mostly wind and chop, not surf.

There is one small light at the end of the tunnel. On the 9th of September, things finally change. Wednesday morning and afternoon see a clean, 5ft swell from the NW with a period of 7 seconds. The wind swings around to a light cross-off from the East at only 6 mph. The combined energy is moderate (221-233). It’s still a beach/jetty setup at Kijkduin, so it won't be world-class, but that glassy wind will make it rideable. This is the only real standout in the whole outlook. It's a week and a half away, so treat it as promising but not locked in just yet.

So, hang in there. It’s been a rough patch, but it looks like there might be a tiny window of fun waves around the 9th of September if the forecast holds.

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.
