Typical, not a forecast. Reanalysis wind misses some local thermal winds, so a spot known for an afternoon breeze may do better than this.

About Dunkerbeck Pro Center

Known for kitesurfing and windsurfing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces E, so wind from the W blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).

Water about 29°C: no wetsuit. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.

A spot for kitesurfing and windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing E. Wind from the E blows onshore, wind from the W blows out to sea, and wind from the S or N runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea floor shelves steeply: 10 m deep about 100 m out (1 in 12). The sea is about 27°C in January, its coldest month (no wetsuit), and 29°C in August, its warmest (no wetsuit). The town to stay in is Kralendijk. Within 5 km we also list 1 surf spot, 1 wind sports spot and 2 dive sites.

The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).

Rough cost (estimate): about US$1,080–US$1,980 each
