The best wind conditions
The best wind condition to surf in Callantsoog is when there's offshore wind blowing from the east or northeast. Offshore winds create clean and organized waves by blowing against the face of the waves and smoothing out the surface.
Best tide conditions
The best tide to surf in Callantsoog is a rising tide. This is when the tide is transitioning from low to high tide. As the water level rises, it creates more energy in the waves and pushes them closer to the shore.
Current seawater temperature
The seawater temperature in Callantsoog is now 14.6 °C. Wear a full wetsuit with a thickness of 4/3 mm. In bad and cold weather, surf shoes and gloves of at least 2 mm are still recommended.
Surf weather forecast for Callantsoog
Friday, May 23, 2025
There is still a good supply of north-westerly swell, with waves of over 1.5 metres. The wind is from the northwest and will turn to west-northwest in the evening. It remains strong with 4 to 5 Bft, especially in the morning there will be gusts of 6 to 7 Bft. This causes a lot of chop, and the current - both during ebb tide and during flood tide - will be stronger than normal. Around 11:00 and 17:00 the current temporarily stops.
Between 8:00 and 10:00 it is low tide, which is not ideal for Callantsoog given the wave height. Between 14:00 and 16:30 it is high tide. From mid-tide coming in until just after mid-tide going out, the conditions are good and there is great surfing.
The wind will be a determining factor though: in the morning at rising tide and in the afternoon around high tide the wind and chop make it challenging. There is a good chance that the wind will decrease to 4 Bft in the evening. Given the tide, 18:30 is the most favorable time to enter the water for a nice wave of over 1 meter.
Saturday May 24, 2025
At sunrise the wind has turned to southwest and is blowing strongly with 4 Bft. In the course of the morning this increases to 5 to 6 Bft, just after noon. This has an influence on both the wave direction and the height.
The deep northwesterly swell will continue to arrive for much of the day with a height of around 1 meter, but the southwesterly wind waves will quickly take over. This can lead to interesting but messy conditions. In the evening there is a chance of a decrease in the wind again.
Low tide is around 11:15, and high tide is between 15:00 and 17:00. The best surfing conditions are expected around 07:00 in the morning and again around 19:00 in the evening.
Sunday May 25, 2025
The wave direction is now west-southwest. In combination with a strong southwesterly wind of 5 to 6 Bft this produces high, messy waves in the early morning.
Later in the day there is a chance that the wind will decrease to 3 to 4 Bft. That could offer another surfing opportunity in the evening, after high tide (around 18:00).
Monday, May 26, 2025
The wind from west-southwest will remain strong all day with 5 to 6 Bft, which makes surfing conditions difficult. Although the predicted westerly swell of 1 meter is favorable in itself, the strong wind makes surfing almost impossible.
Tuesday, May 27, 2025
The forecast is very similar to Monday's, although the wind and swell have a slightly more southern component. Nevertheless, the likely scenario remains that the strong wind will hamper surfing this day as well.
