Belgian Coast · Belgium
De Panne 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
De Panne is the southern Belgian beach break, more open to larger North Sea swell because there are no groynes or harbour walls blocking the line.
Getting there
Use the wide town beach at De Panne, where parking and beach amenities sit close to the centre.
Watch out for
- Larger swells can bring strong currents and shorebreak.
Crowd
Its position near the French border can leave more space than the central Belgian resort breaks.
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.
