Bloemendaal

Bloemendaal is a beach break located on the Dutch North Sea coast, featuring a sandy beach backed by residential development and vegetated dunes. The coastline faces west toward the open ocean, with side-shore conditions optimal from northerly winds. This sheltered beach spot experiences small average waves (0.90m) and moderate winds (10.4 knots), making it suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters seeking consistent, manageable conditions. The proximity to populated areas means the spot can become crowded during weekends and holidays. Wind reliability is modest at 31.5%, requiring flexible scheduling. Water temperatures average 11.5°C, necessitating wetsuits year-round. The rough-chop conditions are typical for this exposed North Sea location. The shallow approach and residential infrastructure limit the riding area, making this spot better suited for learning and progression rather than advanced maneuvers. Local knowledge of tide patterns and seasonal wind shifts is valuable for maximizing session quality.
