About this spot
Here's the secret: IJmuiden is one of the only spots on the entire Dutch North Sea coast where a sout-southeasterly wind is actually rideable — the port geometry bends the beach just enough to make it side-shore rather than offshore. Add the shelter from the South Pier for North winds, and you've got a far wider wind window than anything else nearby. That's why the foil crowd loves it.
