The conditions are most of the times with nice waves around 2m. Best waves in strong SW winds. Lots of surfers who will be surfing the waves between the northern harbor mole and the mole further north. Behind the north mole close to the lighthouse wind and kitesurfers can ride. The water can get choppy with small waves and inconsistent winds. Can have stronger currents. The small mole can be under water, so be careful. Not the best beach for beginners.
The summer temp is around 25°C, in the winter around freezing. In the summer the water is around 20°C and in winter 8°C. The weather in Holland is very variable. From March to October the temperature is pretty good. When you are lucky you can have some days that you don`t have to wear a wetsuit. But normally you definitely need a wetsuit. In the months November to February it's winter time. Only die hards go out kiting with caps and hats.
Special area for kitesurfing, the rules are hanging on the surf clubs. Watch out for the mole on high tide and watch the current. Not suited for beginners.
