South Holland · Netherlands
Noordwijk surf forecast
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
Noordwijk is a classic Holland-coast sandbar beach break off the boulevard, best on northwest swell around six to nine seconds with southeast wind, filling in from mid tide.
Getting there
Paid parking along the boulevard at Noordwijk aan Zee; the surf club and schools sit on the town beach.
Watch out for
- The longshore current between Noordwijk and Zandvoort runs hard around tide peaks.
Local detail
Quieter than Scheveningen or Zandvoort on the same forecast.
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.
