Ameland Beach

Ameland Beach is an NNW-facing beach break in Ameland, Friesland, Netherlands. It picks up swell from WNW to N, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 74% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the SSE: light winds or SSE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while NNW onshores chop it up.
