The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Zandvoort over the next couple of weeks. Straight up – it's a pretty lean run for this sandbar. The water’s sittin' at a balmy 69° and that's a solid 4° warmer than usual for this time of year, so you'll be fine in boardshorts if you're stubborn enough to get in. But here's the thing: Zandvoort's an inconsistent spot at the best of times, and this 16-day stretch is mostly one long blank spell. From Sunday the 30th of August right through to Saturday the 12th of September, every session gets a big fat zero from me – messy wind, weak chop, and tiny dribble. Not worth paddling out for.
Now, after that dry spell, we finally get a couple of windows worth a look. Sunday the 13th of September morning brings surfable but very ordinary conditions – 3 ft from the NW with a gentle S breeze giving clean lines, energy still low at 104. It's rideable but nothing to write home about. The real standout, the only one I'd call good, lands on Monday the 14th of September afternoon. Swell pushes to 5 ft from the NW – gets our optimum swell direction seal of approval – with a 7-second period, and the wind swings S at 9 mph, blowing clean cross-off. The energy jumps to 229, and the call is "expect good surf conditions". That's your session. It's a beginner-friendly size, so if you've been waiting, that's your shot. Keep in mind the long wait and that this place never fires often. That's it for the 16-day window – don't hold your breath for anything else.

Information about the Zandvoort Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Zandvoort provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Zandvoort can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Zandvoort 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 (Zandvoort) 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 Zandvoort 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.
