Surf Break: Scheveningen Pier

Scheveningen Pier on the West Coast is an exposed beach/Pier break that has pretty consitent surf, although summer tends to be mostly flat. Offshore winds blow from the east. Windswells and groundswells in equal measure and the ideal swell angle is from the northwest. The beach break provides left and right handers. Best around high tide. Often Crowded. Beware of rips and obstacles.
