The biggest coastal city in Belgium provides some of the best surfing conditions, especially on either side of the harbour pier at low and mid tide. Needs the onshore winds to drive the swell and mushy close-outs are common but sometimes it lines up for a few faster walls.
Summer surfing restricted to the surfclub Outside (lessons & board rental) west of the Thermae Place Hotel. All facilities and surfshop.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
