North Holland · Netherlands
Zandvoort surf forecast
Beach break in North 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
Zandvoort is a long sandy beach with year-round waves, plenty of space and cleanest conditions when offshore winds organise the open beach peaks.
Getting there
Park along the Zandvoort beach boulevard and use the surf schools on the sand for rentals and lessons.
Watch out for
- Strong winds and rips can make the otherwise rock-free beach choppy and disorganised.
- Kitesurfers and beach users can share the same wide waterline.
Local detail
The wide beach spreads the lineup, but rare offshore days are the window that makes the surf feel properly shaped.
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.
