De Panne is a beach break located on Belgium's North Sea coast, facing northwest toward open water. The spot features a wide sandy beach with organized residential and commercial development directly behind the shoreline, including multiple high-rise buildings and structured waterfront facilities visible in the image. The beach itself is relatively flat with gentle slope, typical of North Sea Belgian beaches. Side-shore winds from the northeast provide optimal conditions for kitesurfing on this northwest-facing coast. With average wind speeds of 9.2 knots and only 22.9% wind reliability, this spot experiences inconsistent conditions characteristic of the Belgian coast. Average wave heights of 0.85m indicate small, choppy conditions suitable for progression and practice rather than performance riding. Water temperatures average 11.7°C, requiring appropriate thermal protection. The spot suits beginner to early-intermediate kiters seeking consistent shallow-water practice in a populated area with nearby facilities. Awareness of swimmers, beachgoers, and the organized beach infrastructure is essential for safe sessions.
