Bergen aan Zee

Bergen aan Zee is a beach break located on the Dutch North Sea coast, facing west into open ocean waters. The spot features a sandy beach with modest infrastructure and residential development immediately inland. Water conditions are characterized by rough-chop rather than organized swell, typical of the shallow North Sea environment. Average wind of 9.9 knots is relatively light, and the 27.6% wind reliability means many sessions will experience insufficient conditions. Best winds come from the north, providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. Wave heights average under 1 meter, making this suitable primarily for beginners and light-wind enthusiasts. The shallow beach break offers a forgiving learning environment with manageable power. Kiters should expect variable conditions and plan sessions during stronger wind windows. Summer crowds and beach usage may affect available launch space. The nearby structures and shallow waters require attention during launch and landing.
