Kitesurfing conditions
do not depend on Tide
on this spot.
Grevelingenmeer / Grevelingendam, Netherlands is a
Shallow, Flat and Chop spot.

launching/landing area
is reported to be of
Medium size.
Fairly large grass strip, which is easy to reach via the parking lot (it's next to it). At the waters edge there are rocks (wear shoes!). The grass allows to launch safely, in most wind directions. Some areas with small piece of grass, sharp rock and then the water with the same sharp rocks on the bottom.
Big salt water lake, no waves, water is fairly choppy most of the time, it is waist deep for about 100-150m offshore. You can see where it becomes deep by the buoy line, after this you can't stand anymore.

You must take the spot most on the east side to kitesurf, this is to keep the windsurfers and kitesurfers out of each other. Also there's a small bay at the spot, it isn't allowed to kitesurf here so don't do it. I think kitesurfing isn't officially allowed anyway, so if something happens the spot is history for kiters.
