Westende is a sheltered beach break located on the Belgian North Sea coast, oriented toward the northwest with a gently sloping sandy bottom. The spot is protected by multiple groynes running perpendicular to shore, which provide wind funneling benefits but create localized current patterns. The average wind of 9.3 knots is relatively light, making this more suitable for foil boards or light-wind equipment. Water conditions show rough-chop characteristics typical of North Sea beaches, with modest wave heights averaging 0.91m. The proximity to residential development and beach infrastructure indicates this is an accessible, well-monitored spot with good facilities. Best conditions occur with northeast to east winds providing true side-shore flow. The low wind reliability (23.6%) means sessions are somewhat inconsistent, though winter months typically offer better wind. This spot suits beginners and intermediate riders seeking calm, protected conditions in a developed coastal setting. Key considerations include tidal range affecting water depth, groyne-induced currents requiring awareness of drift patterns, and beach crowding during peak seasons.
