Level: Beginner, Intermediate, Expert

Type: Lagoon

Water type: Shallow, Flat, Chop

Water hazards: Mole

Water quality: Clean

Infos: Because there's a big difference in high-and low tide, you can only go between 3 hours before and 3 hours after high-tide. Water is flat, but can be choppy with strong winds. Lots of shallow water. Nice flat water in Easterlies (best SE).

Beach type & size: Grass - Small

Infos: Rig on the grassy dyke. Lots of space.

Identified hazards: Concrete

Beachgoer: None

Weather specificities: Spring: air 14C, water 12C. Summer: air 20C, water 16C. Fall: air 12C, water 12C. Winter: air 4C, water 8C. Season is year round in principal, but May to October is the best. Wetsuit is necessary, especially in spring and autumn. Winter can be really cold. In summer a shorty is sufficient.

Wind type: Frontal

Wind specificities: The Dutch islands have often more wind then on the mainland, so it's often better than somewhere else in the country. You can vary on the spots you go to, depending on the wind. Spring and fall are the best for good winds. Winds are based on high and low pressure areas. Wind in spring and autumn usually 3-4 times a week. In summer it's less. Due to the mole easterlies can be gustier. Best in W, SW and S.

Best months: March, April, May, September, October, November

Access description: by Car - Drive to Friesland in the Netherlands, drive past Leeuwarden to Holwerd, take the boat here. The spots south are easily reached by car/bike.
