Strand Ijburg
Pays-Bas · North Holland
Strand IJburg is the urban beach of Amsterdam Oost, located on the IJburg archipelago. It is a convenient spot for kitesurfing near the city, with a simple atmosphere and mostly local visitors.
The site is known for its easy access and well-established water sports activities. For kitesurfing, the appeal of the spot mainly comes from its regular wind conditions and accessible water, rather than a wild setting.

Strand IJburg mainly works with a wind from the east to northeast sector, with an orientation often side-on to side-shore depending on the exact angle. The spot is indicated as a flat and chop type site, which corresponds to a rather flat water surface in the bay, with chop when the wind strengthens or when the water surface forms more. Local sources and spot guides place IJburg among the spots near Amsterdam suitable for kitesurfing when conditions are well oriented, even if the place remains more technical than a large beach break on the northern North Sea coast.
The launch is done from the urban beach, with space to set up and prepare the kite, but one must remain attentive to coexistence with other users, as the site is also frequented for swimming and leisure. The takeoff must remain clean and controlled, with a compact setup and particular vigilance on the border area, where space can be more limited than one might imagine on a classic beach spot. The water surface is generally more interesting when the wind comes well from the east or northeast, and it becomes less comfortable if the wind shifts too far off or too on, as the quality of the edge can degrade quickly.
