Beach and Tide Conditions
Blankenberge, Belgium is a
Chop, Small waves and Medium waves spot.
The
launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Big size.
Big, sandy beach, nice soft Sahara sand, not to much shells, no rocks, grass, concrete. In spring, fall and winter enough space to launch and land a kite everywhere on the beach but in summertime when hot you have to do this at the sail club because of too many people on the beach.
North Sea choppy conditions, sometimes real waves (mostly wind waves). With Northwest storms we have the biggest waves, lot of current with high tide, no rocks in the sea. With changing tides some flat water to get speed, then jumping like hell on the waves. Long pier to the west side.
