Zandvoort
Edit SpotAbout
Zandvoort is a very specific Dutch surfspot. Difficult to surf because of its rough, unorganised waves. However not dangerous because of rocks or swell. Unfortunately, good winddays with good wind direction are vew. Mostly before and after summer season. In this case a good winter suit is required. When it really blows though, its a great spot where most trics are possible. Sometimes waves of about 3-4 mtrs high.
It's definatly not great, but its a good practice for the better waves.
When you can surf here, you can practically surf everywhere...
Atmosphere:
A very local place.
Surf is rarely great, but when it's great its great. There a lot of kitesurfers, who are very annoying...
Additional Info:
You can park your car at the beach and take a daycard. Best to ask for Tim Klijn Beach Centre, at the North of Zandvoort.
Use a fun-board... or bigger.
