Knockster Tief

Knockster Tief is a sheltered lagoon system located in the northern Netherlands, characterized by flat, protected water bordered by managed dikes and green pastureland. The spot consists of multiple connected water bodies with varying depths, predominantly shallow and calm. This is a contained inland water system rather than coastal exposure, offering lake-like conditions with minimal wave generation. The flat water makes this suitable for beginners and those learning board control and technique. Best conditions occur with northerly winds that provide side-shore flow across the lagoon length. The extremely low average wind reliability (22.8%) and minimal wave height (0.31m) indicate this is a light-wind spot dependent on seasonal patterns. The surrounding agricultural landscape and narrow water corridors limit fetch distance. Kiters should be aware of shallow depths requiring appropriate equipment, potential vegetation entanglement, and the confined nature of the spot. This location suits learners seeking protected conditions rather than advanced riders seeking waves or strong wind.
