Description

Large beachbreak that can work on all tides. Best on northerly swells. It is also possible to surf here on big SW storms due to the protection of the large jetty. In that case, there is a peak right next to the jetty and most of the time the rest of the beach is flat. Recently, a metro station was added here so it possible to come here with public transport. The air can smell a bit depending on the wind direction, because this surf spot is next to big industry in the harbor of Rotterdam.
