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 Windsurfclub Heusden

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

A spot for windsurfing, as OpenStreetMap maps it, on a shore facing W. Wind from the W blows onshore, wind from the E blows out to sea, and wind from the N or S runs along the shore. The town to stay in is Gent. 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).

Rough cost (estimate): about US$1,230–US$2,290 each

about US$1,230–US$2,290 each · 6 nights, 2 sharing: flights, hire car, stay, food.
