Westerslag has a very good sandbank which only works on low-tide. I prefer the right, because its faster and hollower. On mid- and low-tide the waves wont break completely. On high tide I prefer to go to paal 17 or de koog. When the wind blows strong from south to north, so that its too cross, it could be that youll find (only on high-tide) round the lighthouse a nice off-shore-swell.
The best tide to surf is with falling and rising Tide. Watch out for the stream strenght. It's very strong. Especially with wind coming from the NE.
One of the nicest spots on the Island of Texel. Some artificial dams are made which maken some nice waves and hold back the currents.
Like the Slufter (Maasvlakte) there is a sandbar just before the beach, hence some waves close out right on the sandbar. Go a bit to the right of the main entrance just where the sandbar ends. Behind the sandbar there is a massive current to the right.I've only been there once and the waves where about 1.5-2 meters. Some very steep and hollow, some gently breaking. Lot's of peaks. Not too fast though.I was the only surfer in, along with two swimmers (!!!!!!).
