The water is flat but can be somewhat choppy when it's blowing very hard. The water is shallow for very long, even too shallow in the beginning so you have to walk a fair bit to be able to kite. But this shallowness is in the same time the benefit of this spot.Edit

Go to the `Grevelingendam`. On the northern side of the lake you see big windmills, go to the left of them and there's the `spot`.Edit
If correct - it's officially forbidden to kite there, but you won't get a fine if you go kiting there yet. So please kite very safe and behave to maintain access.Edit
