Overview
Ouddorp is located on the North Sea coast, at the western tip of Goeree-Overflakkee, with an exposed beach and a rather wild setting. The spot is known for its medium waves with west winds, with possible chop depending on the orientation, and one must account for strong lateral currents as well as rock formations/submerged breakwaters in the kite area. The practice is limited between beach accesses 7 and 9, and the required level is clearly intermediate to advanced, as conditions can quickly become physical. It is therefore more of a committed freeride and wave riding spot than a discovery one, with cold water for a good part of the year and a serious spot atmosphere. Beginners are generally directed to calmer places like Brouwersdam or Oostvoorne.
