About This Spot

Why Riders Love It
The spot lays at the base of a dyke, so it's mostly gusty, shifty winds, until you've sailed away from shore. Winds between 10-25 knots. Mostly Southwest till Northwest.
When to Go
The weather is typical Dutch, that is cold from mid Oct-May and really not that fun to kite (air: 6-12°C, water: 8°C). In summer May to August, it can be nice, but you still need a wetsuit almost all the time (air: 16-25°C, water: 14-19°C). For a local wind update: Weatherstation De Binnenschelde.
What to Expect
It's an inland lake, so no tide at all. It's fairly flat, but when the wind has been blowing hard for a couple of hours, some small chop appears. The water is almost everywhere fairly shallow, waist till neck deep. But across the lake there's a old canal, so it is deep there.
