Description

The waves at this spot are quite fast, hollow, and powerful for Dutch standards. While it’s mostly rights here, you can occasionally surf a left. The beach is very long, with wave size decreasing as you move south. The spot works best on northerly swells. Additionally, northerly winds create offshore conditions on the south side. During mid to high tide, the current flows south on the inside, while on the outside, it tends to flow north. Free parking spots and parking next to the road is allowed. No other amenities besides industrial buildings. Not reachable with public transport.

1m N-swell, picture taken +-2h before high tide. We went in the water and around 30 minutes later, set waves doubled in size compared to photo with long rights and a lot of fun!
