An alternative to the flat spots of Lauwersoog, the Haven spot is located east of Lauwersoog harbour, along the dike. Access from the dike, within 2.5 hours around high tide. Wind swell present here unlike the flat spots of the Lauwersmeer and the Waddenzee Hoek van de Bant. Direct view of the Lauwersoog–Schiermonnikoog ferries. More dynamic bottom, choppy with small wind waves.
The season runs from March to August, peaking in June: 28 rideable days a month and 370 hours of usable wind, at 16 °C. The low point is September, at 20.7 days.

Ridden here? One photo or video, and the spot comes alive for everyone discovering it.
Park on the dike east of Lauwersoog harbour. Usable within 2.5 hours around HW. Watch out for Schiermonnikoog ferry traffic. No facilities on site.
Open all year round
Intermediate
NE/N: best directions for wind swell. All directions rideable thanks to the harbour configuration. Useful alternative when flat spots are too monotonous or too shallow. Pleasant small wind waves (wind swell) for chop hops.
Alternative spot to flat water spots — water with chop/wind swell, more dynamic conditions. Usable only within 2.5 hours around high tide. Active tidal current in and around the harbour — watch out for ferry vessels (Schiermonnikoog). Intermediate level minimum.
