Nice waves when onshore winds and high tide, choppy when sideshore and low tide. With sideshore winds the water gets choppy. With high tide a lagoon is created, shallow for some hundred meters. On South and Southwest winds very nice waves (up to 1.5m), excellent for surfing. On the other side of the dam (Oosterscheldedam) is the Veersemeer with flat water. Some sandbars in the water, which are changing due to the different currents in the water. Be careful if the dam doors are opened, then a strong current takes you away from shore.
Beach is a few hundred meters wide. Also very long beach. Soft sand with shells, so be careful not to damage your kite. Lots of space. But during high season look out for swimmers.
In spring and autumn the wind is usually good, ranging from 4-6 Bft. In summer often a gentle but constant 4 Bft. Good wind directions: North/West/East.
From Breda drive on the A58 to Middelburg. Here get on the B57 towards Serooskerke until you reach Vrouwenpolder. From Rotterdam take the A15 and take exit 12 `Rozenburg`. Here on the B57 towards Ouddorp/Middelburg and to Vrouwenpolder. In Vrouwenpolder get to the Oosterscheldedam. Take the first bridge from the parking on the right side to get to the beach. Parking directly at the beach, 3,50 Euro fee.
There is a special kitesurfing corridor on the beach where kitesurfing is always allowed. Even in high season swimmers are instructed to leave this corridor for kitesurfers to enjoy. The only place in the Netherlands where you can kite on the sea with eastern winds. Kitesurfing with a safety system only.
