The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here.

It’s a grim stretch for our stretch of coast. Kijkduin is staring down the barrel of more than a week of proper rubbish conditions. The water is weirdly warm, sitting at a balmy 69°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year.

The first real whisper of something half-decent doesn't show up until Saturday the 5th of September. Before that, we’ve got a long, frustrating gap – from Tuesday the 25th of August right through to Friday the 4th of September, it’s all poor surf, messy winds, and tiny, weak slop. You’d be wasting your time.

Saturday the 5th of September is the only flicker of hope in the whole 16-day window. We’re looking at a 7 ft swell out of the WSW, with a 7-second period. The wave energy is proper strong, coming in at 522. The kicker here is the wind – dawn should be glassy out of the ESE. That means Kijkduin could be clean and holding some size. It’s a beach and jetty setup, so that bigger, short-period swell might be a bit dumpy, but with offshore conditions, it’s your only real shot. It’s a 6 ft onshore mess by the afternoon, so get out early. Seal the deal, but don't expect much.

There’s no other standout. The rest is a write-off with onshore winds and lumpy, chopped-up junk. Keep your hopes pinned on that Saturday morning session because that’s it.

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.
