South Holland · Netherlands

Katwijk surf forecast

Name: Katwijk
Address: South Holland, Netherlands

Beach break in South Holland, Netherlands, 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

Katwijk breaks on the sandbar held by the Uitwateringskanaal outflow jetties at the north end of the boulevard, northwest swell, southeast wind, from mid tide up.

Getting there

Paid boulevard parking; Surfschool Katwijk operates from the beach.

Watch out for

Outflow current at the sluice jetties and shallow groyne heads.

Local detail

One of the quieter lineups on the South Holland coast.

Tide dependency: moderate

Offshore banks bleed off roughly half the swell at low water here. Bigger swells push through anyway, small ones often do not, and the useful window tracks the tide. NORDR scores that in rather than printing a tide chart beside the wave height.
