About sycod oostduinkerke
Known for kitesurfing and sailing, by the OpenStreetMap map of the area. The shore faces NW, so wind from the SE blows out to sea (our estimate from the coastline).
Water about 13°C: 4/3 wetsuit and boots. Typical sea temperature for the time of year, not a forecast.
A spot for kitesurfing and sailing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing NW. Wind from the NW blows onshore, wind from the SE blows out to sea, and wind from the NE or SW runs along the shore. It is exposed to the open sea. The sea floor shelves very gently: 10 m deep about 3.2 km out (1 in 323). The sea is about 7°C in February, its coldest month (5/4 or 6/5, hood, boots and gloves), and 20°C in August, its warmest (2 mm shorty). The town to stay in is Oostduinkerke. Within 5 km we also list 1 wind sports spot and 1 mountain bike area.
The score is the conditions only: the journey, the price and the partners never change it (how we score, how we earn).
