Belgium has only about sixty kilometres of coast, from De Panne to Knokke-Heist, but almost every resort has its spot and its club. The beaches are wide and sandy, facing the North Sea.
Kiting is tightly organised there: marked zones, time slots and rules shared along the whole coast.
You can ride all year. As with the other North Sea countries, the wind comes from passing lows.
Best period : all year
In November: 43% kiteable days
Historical monthly averages, not a forecast.
De Panne, near the French border, has a wide, spacious beach suited to beginners. The spot borders a nature reserve.
Knokke-Heist, at the other end of the coast near the Netherlands, is more demanding, with chop. It is quieter out of season.
Between the two, people ride at Koksijde, Oostduinkerke, Middelkerke, Bredene, De Haan, Blankenberge and Zeebrugge.
Rules. Kiting takes place in marked zones, with time slots and a flag system. Insurance and proof of level may be required. Drop by the spot's club before your first session.
Getting there. Knokke is about an hour and a half from Brussels.
Cold water. Bring a wetsuit all year.
