Bredene

Bredene is a beach break located on Belgium's North Sea coast, facing northwest toward open water. The spot features a sandy beach backed by low dunes and residential development, with the E40/A10 highway running parallel to the shore. This is a shallow-water, flat-wave location characteristic of the Belgian coast. The spot suits beginner to intermediate kiters due to minimal wave height and manageable conditions, though low wind reliability (27.5%) means sessions are inconsistent. Average winds of 9.7 knots are marginal for reliable kitesurfing. Best wind direction is from the northeast (45°), providing side-shore conditions parallel to the coast. Conditions are typically rough-chop rather than organized waves, making this better for freestyle or flat-water practice than wave riding. The proximity of the highway and residential areas limits space for downwind runs. Water temperatures around 11.6°C require thermal protection year-round. This spot works best during winter months when North Sea wind patterns are more active.
