Kijkduin on the West Coast is an exposed beach/Jetty break that has quite reliable surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Offshore winds are from the east. Waves just as likely from local windswells as from distant groundswells and the best swell direction is from the north northwest. The beach breaks offer lefts and rights. Best around low tide. Sometimes crowded. Surfing here means negotiating dangerous rips.
