Waves breaking on sandy bottom, varied conditions
Noordzeestrand on Texel is a North Sea beach break located on the Dutch island of Texel, featuring a west-facing sandy coastline with organized beach infrastructure. The spot benefits from direct North Sea fetch but shows typical rough-chop characteristics of North European waters. A constructed breakwater provides shore access and some protection but creates localized hazards. Best wind conditions arrive from northerly directions (North to North-Northeast), providing reliable side-shore winds parallel to the beach. The average wind speed of 11.9 knots is moderate, though the 44.5% reliability suggests inconsistent conditions. Water temperatures average 11.5°C, requiring thermal protection year-round. Wave heights average 1.04m, indicating typically small to moderate conditions. This spot suits intermediate kiters comfortable with rough-chop waters and variable winds. The organized beach access and visible facilities suggest a developed recreational area. Wind direction stability from the north makes this spot more forgiving than easterly or southerly wind days.
