Callantsoog

Callantsoog is a protected beach break located on the Dutch North Sea coast, facing west toward open water. The spot consists of a wide sandy beach backed by residential development and agricultural land. The site shows multiple coastal defense structures and groynes visible in the imagery, indicating active management of this eroding shoreline. The beach appears relatively sheltered with gentle slope characteristics typical of Dutch coastal areas. Wind reliability is low at 30.3%, with average winds of 10.2 knots providing marginal conditions for kitesurfing. Wave heights average just 0.92m with rough-chop texture rather than organized swell. North winds provide optimal side-shore conditions for this west-facing beach. The spot suits beginners due to shallow water, sandy bottom, and minimal hazards, though consistent wind is the primary limitation. Kiters should expect small, choppy conditions with frequent flat spells. Best visited during stronger wind periods or winter months when North Atlantic swells and winds increase.
