About

One of the better waves in the North of Holland. Worth checking out because it's a different wave.

Atmosphere:
You are usually alone at this spot. Sometimes it gets crowded, but when that happens you can always just go up one beach and you're alone again. Localism is an unknown word in this region, as it should be.

Additional Info:
One of the better waves in the North of Holland.
Spot can be surfed on all tides. But when the high tide starts to cover the breakwaters, the current increases a lot and it gets messy. On mid to low tide the waves comes around the breakwater and gives short but fast rides. This way you get at least a bit of speed to do a decent turn. On a good day with a NW swell, you can get fast rides after a steep drop. Tends to have a bit more power than the average Dutch slop.
