Casey W H from United States

“Holland has a relatively reliable break; May and June being our slow months. The south side of the pier offers very clean, good-sized waves, up to 25 times per year. The north side of the pier offers good waves about 15 times per year and can be very big: up to 10ft and good surfable waves. Hallelujah for Holland.”
