Krabbendijke

Krabbendijke is located in the Scheldt River delta region of Belgium, a low-lying agricultural area with extensive polder management systems. This is a flat-water delta spot characterized by calm conditions and minimal wave action (0.21m average). The area features controlled water levels, irrigation infrastructure, and organized farmland parcels separated by dikes and channels. The spot is primarily suited for flat-water enthusiasts and beginners learning to navigate protected conditions. The northward-facing coastline means easterly (90°) or westerly (270°) winds provide optimal side-shore conditions. However, the location experiences poor wind reliability at only 18.3%, making consistent sessions challenging. The shallow water and muddy substrate require careful launching and landing. Average wind speeds of 8.7 knots are marginal for kitesurfing. This delta environment is best visited when stronger offshore systems move through Belgium. The flat terrain provides no wave enhancement. Kiters should be prepared for soft landings and account for the agricultural setting with its various obstacles and restricted areas.
