Scheveningen

Scheveningen is a sandy beach break located on the North Sea coast of the Netherlands, facing north toward the water. The spot features a wide, gently-sloping sandy beach backed by extensive urban development and a busy commercial harbor at its southern end. The beach offers consistent, small wind-generated waves in choppy water conditions typical of North Sea fetch. The spot is sheltered by harbor structures and the coastline configuration, making it suitable primarily for beginners and those learning to kitesurf. Wind reliability is relatively low at 28.8%, requiring patience for consistent conditions. The area experiences significant recreational beach use and commercial port activity, requiring kiters to stay in designated zones away from swimmers and vessel traffic. Water temperatures average around 12°C, necessitating wetsuits year-round. The shallow, choppy conditions and protected nature of the spot make it ideal for learning but limit progression potential for advanced riders seeking larger waves and stronger wind.
