Kijkduin surf guide

Kijkduin is a surf spot located near The Hague, known as a decent alternative to the busier surf breaks in Scheveningen. It’s a sandy beach with a laid-back vibe, making it a good place to catch some waves without the hustle and bustle of larger crowds. While it can get some local boogie boarders, especially when the waves are hollow, it's generally not overcrowded, giving surfers a bit more space to enjoy the water.

The surf in Kijkduin works best with a southwest swell, which you can expect to pick up swell sizes starting from about 1ft (0.3m) and above. The waves typically break to the left and right over sand, creating fun options for intermediate surfers. The best time to surf here is during low to mid tide, and you’ll want to look for days with southeast winds, as they provide the best conditions. Keep in mind that southwest winds can cause currents to increase, which could make the surf a bit trickier.

If you're heading out to Kijkduin, it's a good spot for those with intermediate skills, as it can produce some nice, hollow waves between short jetties. Just keep an eye on the tide and wind direction for the best experience. Enjoy your time surfing!
