Noordzeestrand Ameland

Noordzeestrand on Ameland is a North Sea beach break located on one of the Dutch Wadden Islands. The spot features a north-facing coastline with extensive shallow water zones, tidal flats, and a salt marsh system visible in the aerial view. The beach offers direct exposure to North Sea swell but with limited fetch due to the island's position. Water conditions are typically choppy with small average waves (0.76m), characteristic of shallow-water beach breaks. Wind reliability is moderate at 34.1%, with average winds of 10.7 knots best from the east (side-shore). The spot suits beginners to intermediate kiters due to manageable wave heights and wide beach access, though low wind days are frequent. Key considerations include tidal variation affecting water depth and launch areas, shallow sandbars requiring careful navigation, and the mudflat environment requiring attention to tide schedules. Best sessions occur during stronger easterly wind events.
