Spot functioning

The spot works primarily with west to northwest winds (onshore on the North Sea side). The lagoon side (east/south) offers sheltered flat water when conditions are too strong on the west beach. In easterly winds, conditions become offshore on the North Sea side but create perfect flat water in the lagoon. Low tide: huge dry sand area usable for landkite.
