Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Midsland aan Zee is a sheltered beach break on the northern coast of Terschelling, a Frisian island in the Dutch Wadden Sea. The spot features a wide sandy beach with shallow water conditions extending offshore, characterized by visible sandbar formations and gentle gradient. The residential settlement behind the beach limits the available land area for launching and landing. Water conditions are typically rough-chop with modest wave heights (0.97m average), making this a mellow environment suitable for skill development. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore coverage parallel to the coast. The prevailing wind averaging 14 knots supports consistent but not powerful sessions. This spot suits beginners and early intermediate kiters seeking protected conditions with manageable water dynamics. Kiters should account for tidal changes affecting water depth, plan landing zones carefully given residential proximity, and respect the shallow approach. The location offers reliable moderate conditions rather than challenging waves or strong wind.
