Premier spot closest to Amsterdam. Left and right walls in a NW swell and weaker disorganised corners in SW conditions, when the huge harbour jetty provides some wind protection. Onshore messy conditions are the norm and mid tides incoming are best. High tide there is too much water.
Always somebody surfing long after the summer hordes have left. Beware rips closer to the jetty and the many wind/kiters. Stark industrial background including steel mill and commercial shipping - water quality dubious. The last few years it's really crowded especially in summer. The beach huts and surf club are gone in winter so then it's less crowded . Call THE HOT ZONE for surf check only in summer 0251374141.

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.
