Overview

Off the northern coast of Texel, the area offers a true maritime playground, with long exposed beaches and a very surf-oriented island vibe. Depending on the sector and wind direction, you can find either waves and chop on the North Sea or flatter water on the Wadden side, but currents and tides require attention. The area is especially known for riders who are already comfortable, particularly around the lighthouse, where conditions can become physical and technical. Further south, some spots like Paal 17 or Paal 27 are also used for lessons and learning, with a more accessible vibe. The most consistent period generally runs from late spring to early autumn, with often well-established winds along the coast.
