Texel, Paal 12
Edit SpotAbout
As far as I know, only me and my friend are surfing at pile 12.
Atmosphere:
You must wear a wetsuit. In July and August you don't have to wear a wetsuit. So HAVE FUN.
Additional Info:
The best tide to surf is with falling and rising Tide. Watch out for the stream strenght. It's very strong. Especially with wind coming from the NE.

Then you take the ferry from Den Helder to Texel.From the ferry you will drive at a road called the Pontweg. You will take junction 12 on the leftside of the road. After you branched off you will continue the road Rozendijk till the end and then branch to the right and keep on driving until you see a parking place. Have fun.
