Ouddorp (Flaauwe Werk) 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

Ouddorp's Flaauwe Werk is the delta-coast beach break: outer sandbars facing northwest, best on west to northwest swell at mid tide, with autumn the season.

Getting there

Park at the Flaauwe Werk strandslag; Surfkaravaan runs the local school. About forty-five minutes from Rotterdam.

Watch out for

  • The dike revetment sits close at high tide, and delta tidal currents run near the Brouwersdam.

Local detail

The South Holland delta alternative when the city beaches are crowded.

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.
