The Wadden Islands are typical low-lying barrier islands with shifting sandbanks along open, unstabilised beaches. Picks up the lions share of any NW swell but the lack of jetties means it needs groomed sandbars and offshore winds to be any good.
Big tides and big currents. Clean by North Sea standards and crowds are non-existent during the surf season. Access to Terscelling and Texel via ferry from Leeuwarden and Den Helder

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.
