Hi,
I'm planing to go to Holland this year in July. Could anyone recomend some good kitebeaches. How is the wind in July.

Hi in Holland almost all beaches are good. Some are even better

Ones that come to my mind :

1. Hoek van Holland
2. Scheveningen (not for beginners I believe)
3. Katwijk aan zee
4. Noordwijk aan zee
5. Zandvoort
6. IJmuiden (my home spot, great with NW-NE wind, and with SSE-SW)
7. Wijk aan Zee (my second home spot, great with SW-NW wind)
8. Callantsoog

number 6 & 7 are near a peer (don't know the right word), and therefore there is not much current, and great waves.

Dude!

Welcome to Holland...OK I will devide it in three parts. Wind direction, sea and flat water there we go:

Sea

Zw- Along the whole Dutch coast really nice spots
Zw- Wijk aan zee
Zw- Brouwersdam (Grevelingen)
NW- Ijmuiden
ZW- Bergen aan Zee

Flat Water

ZW- Schellinkhout
E/ZE- Enkhuizen droomstrand
NW/NE- Muiderberg
W- Mirns
W/ NW Strand Horst/ Harderwijk

So far, there are many more spots but this will give you a good view of what is possible in Holland

Mahalo!

peer= jetty

And of course Oostvoorne (20km from Rotterdam) You can ride your car on the beaCH (AUTOSTRAND)!!
Good with W / Zw winds and has about 150 metres of 1 meter shallow water

Yesterday I have been kiting in IJmuiden with NW 7-8 Bft. Waves were up to 6/7 meters !!! I have never been so scared, and psyched up I surfed for about 3 hours, and woke up this morning 4 hours later than normal. I guess the adrenalin makes that you don't feel tired

Thanks
I guess Ijmuiden must be the place. I think iI will go there in week 30, when the wheather hopefully is warmer again

Well, with South-West winds go to the north of the canal (Wijk aan Zee) that's the place to be with SW-winds (like now, 8 Bft !!!)
