Kite Season
The Netherlands is famous for its windmills, tulips, and bicycles—but for those in the know, it’s also a kitesurfing paradise. This low-lying country has a long, windswept coastline on the North Sea, perfect for catching some serious air. And with its endless beaches, flat-water lagoons, and wind that seems to never take a break, the Netherlands is a dream spot for kiters who don’t mind a little North Sea chill.
The Dutch kitesurfing season runs from April to October, though hardcore locals will brave the winter with thick wetsuits and a lot of determination. The windiest months are typically September to November and March to May, when powerful storms send strong winds across the coast. Expect wind speeds between 15-30 knots, with the prevailing southwesterly wind providing reliable conditions. Just remember, the water is cold—so a wetsuit is your best friend.
Close to The Hague, Scheveningen, this is the country’s most famous beach. The waves here can get punchy, making it a hotspot for wave riders and experienced kiters. Bonus: after a session, you can warm up with some bitterballen (deep-fried Dutch snacks).
Just a short ride from Amsterdam – Zandvoort, this spot has consistent wind and a long, sandy beach. Perfect for a quick city escape when you need some saltwater therapy.
Brouwersdamm, a must-visit for freestyle riders. This massive lagoon offers flat water and steady wind, making it one of the best spots in the country.
Located in Friesland, Workum – this shallow, flat-water lagoon on the IJsselmeer is perfect for beginners and those who love butter-smooth conditions.
A hidden gem near Amsterdam, Muiderberg is a fantastic shallow-water spot on the IJsselmeer. Its flat water and steady wind make it ideal for beginners and freestyle riders. Plus, with the scenic Dutch countryside around, you might just spot a windmill or two while cruising across the water.
Kitesurfing in the Netherlands is a mix of strong wind, chilly water, and epic sessions. And if the wind ever dies? Just grab a stroopwafel and wait—it won’t be long before the next gust comes rolling in!
