Zandvoort

Zandvoort is a WNW-facing beach break in North Holland, Netherlands. It picks up swell from NW to NNE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 75% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ESE: light winds or ESE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WNW onshores chop it up.
