Overview

Blankenberge is a kitesurf spot at Blankenberge (West Flanders), a major Belgian seaside resort with a large pier. The beach catches N/NNE/NE and SW/W/NW/NNW onshore winds. The Blankenberge pier extends into the sea — be aware of its position when riding.

Offshore wind (E/SE) forbidden on the entire Belgian coast. Large tidal range. Very popular resort — busy beach in summer with strict swimmer zones. The pier creates local wind shadows and turbulence in certain directions. Check designated kite zone location carefully.
