Over the years Zandvoort has grown into an extremely popular kitesurfing location. Kitesurfing is possible in Zandvoort because of the wind direction clockwise from SSW till NNW 210 through to 020 degrees on the compass.
On windy days it can be fairly easy to reach the beach by train or by car because the beach is not busy with tourists. However, when there is a warm, sunny forecast particularly in the months of June, July, August or September, there can be a lot of traffic!
On such sunny days when there is also very little wind, it is possible to find the kite-zones closed. So you would not be able to go kitesurfing anyway. Better to check!
Locations / Kite Zones
Kite Zone at Jump-Out/Riche
In the north of Zandvoort right in front of the racing circuit there is a quiete kitesurfing zone. It is quite easy to reach by car, by train or bus - there is a bus stop right behind the road. Parking is not usually a problem though you will have to buy a ticket for car parking. There is also a kiteboard/kitesurfing centre and school for information, renting gear, and lessons/courses.
