Wingfoil spot Camperduin in Camperduin, Netherlands, Netherlands

Most people drive straight through Camperduin without knowing there's a seasonal lagoon tucked behind the beach — and that's exactly what makes it special. From October to April, when water collects in the dune hollow, you get a rare flat-water sheltered session with a full North Sea wind behind you. It's tiny, fits maybe four kiters, and feels like a secret spot regulars guard carefully.

Best months: March, April, May, September, October, November

Wind directions: N, NW, W, SW

Water: Sea

Bottom: Sand

Sports: Windsurf, Wingfoil, Kiting

Local tips

Lagoon only usable Oct–Apr when water level is right. Check local Facebook groups for updates. Exposed open beach also works for wave riding in bigger winds.
