Maasvlakte II Point

Maasvlakte II Point is located at the mouth of the Maas River in the Netherlands, representing a modified coastal delta environment shaped by major port infrastructure. The spot features a northeast-facing coastline with transitional waters between river discharge and open sea conditions. The visible breakwater and engineered shoreline indicate this is an industrial port zone rather than natural beach. Water conditions are characteristically rough-chop, reflecting shallow depth gradients, tidal influences, and river outflow dynamics. Wind reliability is relatively low at 35%, with modest average wind speeds (10.8 knots) requiring patience for suitable sessions. Best wind approaches from the northwest (315°), providing side-shore conditions along the northeast-facing coast. Average wave heights of 0.87m indicate limited swell exposure, with most energy from local wind generation. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with industrial settings, shallow-water characteristics, and variable conditions. Key considerations include navigating port traffic separation schemes, understanding tidal current patterns, and respecting the engineered nature of the shoreline. Access and regulations may be restricted given the commercial port context.
