Belgian Coast · Belgium
Blankenberge surf forecast
Beach break in Belgian Coast, Belgium, scored hour by hour in NORDR against the wind angle for the way it faces, the swell direction it wants, and the tide it works on.
How it breaks
Blankenberge breaks beside the historic pier, where the wooden structure helps form a stable sandbank and a wind-protected right-hand wave on the north side.
Getting there
Follow signs to Blankenberge Pier; the break sits beside the pier and is reachable by tram, train or seafront parking.
Watch out for
- Strong current runs along the pier and requires experienced paddling.
- Surfing close to the pier means collision risk with beams and fishing activity.
- Jumping from the pier into the lineup is hazardous and not recommended.
Local detail
The right side of the pier usually has the most stable sandbank.
Tide dependency: severe
The Flemish Banks sit offshore in shallow water and take the swell before it reaches the beach. At low water this coast reads flat whatever the offshore number says, and the window opens on the push into high. NORDR scores that in rather than printing a tide chart beside the wave height.
