Brouwersdam

Brouwersdam is a sheltered lagoon located in the Grevelingen lake system in the southern Netherlands, formed between the mainland and a large sandy barrier. The spot faces east toward protected water with a sandy, shallow bottom and minimal wave energy. The lagoon setting provides side-shore conditions with northerly winds ideal for kitesurfing, though the water remains relatively flat. Visibility of parking areas, marinas, and boat traffic indicates this is a popular recreational zone requiring awareness of other water users. The spot suits beginner to early intermediate riders seeking calm, forgiving conditions without significant wave exposure. Best conditions occur with north winds (0-30°) providing clean side-shore flow along the lagoon's length. Wind reliability at 38.8% is moderate, with average speeds around 11 knots—sufficient for light-wind progression but not ideal for consistent sessions. The shallow water and soft bottom present minimal hazard compared to reef or rocky breaks, though riders should be cautious of tidal variations and occasional muddy sections. Strong currents are possible during tidal exchanges. This location prioritizes progression in controlled conditions over wave quality.
