Groote Keeten

Groote Keeten is a beach break spot on the Dutch North Sea coast facing west toward open ocean. The site features a wide sandy beach backed by dunes and maritime vegetation, with agricultural land immediately inland. Wave conditions are modest (0.92m average), typical of North Sea beach breaks with rough-chop water characteristics. Wind reliability is relatively low at 31.3%, suggesting this location is not ideal for consistent kitesurfing sessions. The spot suits beginner to early intermediate riders due to its shallow beach approach and manageable wave heights. Best conditions occur with northerly winds creating side-shore conditions across the beach. The residential development visible to the south and extensive agricultural fields limit the spot's fetch and exposure. Kiters should be aware of shallow water extending far offshore, which reduces wave development but provides safer conditions for progression. The site's low wind reliability means sessions depend heavily on weather patterns and seasonal variation.
