Wassenaar

Wassenaar is a sheltered beach break located on the North Sea coast of the Netherlands, south of The Hague. The coastline faces west toward open water, with a gently sloping sandy beach backed by dunes and residential development. The spot is characterized by very small average wave heights and choppy water conditions typical of the shallow North Sea. Wind reliability is notably low at 30.6%, making consistent sessions challenging. The shallow waters and sandbars create a beginner-friendly environment with minimal consequences for mistakes, though limited wave size restricts skill development. Best conditions occur with northerly winds providing side-shore coverage. Water temperatures around 11.5°C require seasonal wetsuits. This spot suits absolute beginners and those practicing in marginal conditions rather than progressing riders. The proximity to developed areas and boat traffic requires awareness of maritime activity. Sessions are best planned during autumn and winter months when wind patterns are more favorable.
