Localism

Crowds:
At some spots, on good days
Spots, (from south to north)
Domburg:
I heard this is a nice surfspot
which can get descent waves, not too much people in the water outside
the summer season.
Maasvlakte:
Good, powerful waves (for Dutch
standards) because it breaks over rocks, mostly uncrowded, there can
be a strong current
Den Haag
Kijkduin:
Can get good waves with high tide
, but there is a strong current, less crowded than Scheveningen. Camping
real close to the beach.
Scheveningen
South
This is one of the best beaches
in Holland for surfing, it does need a big swell. The harbor jetty is
a good shelter when there is a strong northerly wind. It gets crowded.
Scheveningen
North
On the other side of the harbor.
This place is very crowded on any day with waves,
and the locals do not like to be dropped in on, so beware. With a good
swell it can be a really good beach. 2 good surfshops are close. Camping
in Kijkduin.
Noordwijk,
Katwijk and Zandvoort.
Waves are not very good for wavesurfing,
better for windsurfing. Very strong current. Nice places to visit in
summertime. It is not crowded. All have several campings close to the
beach.
Wijk aan
zee
One of the best spots in Holland,
mostly it is uncrowded because access without a car is difficult.Watch
out for the current because if you don't you will end up on the rocks
of the jetty.It can hold waves up to 1.5 meter.
Bergen,
Egmond and Castricum aan Zee
Nice waves, nothing spectacular
but it is not crowded. Camping available
I have been there a few times, but
haven't seen waves then. But I saw pictures of the German wadden islands
with good waves. So I think on a good day they all have very nice waves,
without crowds.
