<h3>Kitesurfing wind conditions in Brouwersdam</h3><p>There are designated kitesurfing areas here, marked by yellow buoys. Be aware this is also a popular spot for kite landboarding, kite buggying and blow karts, so just have your wits about you on the beach and look for other beach users.</p><p>The windiest months in Northern Europe are the winter months, but they are also the months when you are most likely to lose a finger to frostbite and therefore for advanced kitesurfers and sadists only. So the main season in Brouwersdam is during the summer months from May until September, when the temperature is much more reasonable and you’re less likely to die of hypothermia! Wind is frontal in Europe (i.e. not entirely consistent) but the thermal wind can help to stabilise it, so keep an eye on the forecast for Brouwersdam and go when it looks good. Luckily there are a lot of windy days here, but if you aren’t sure about the forecast the best option is to contact the local kite schools for more information and they can let you know if it’s worth the trip.</p><p>At low tide you’ll get the flattest water for freestyle kiteboarding, and as the tide rises is when the waves will come through and it might be more fun with a surf board. Be aware of strong currents as the tide moves in and out, and check the tides before your trip so you aren’t disappointed.</p><h3>Around the kite spot Brouwersdam</h3><p>The local area offers a nice relaxing atmosphere in a remote spot, and in the case of non windy days it’s also possible to surf nearby, go on a SUP tour, go wakeboarding at the local cable park, or just rent a bike and enjoy cycling around. In the evenings you can chill at the campsite, hang out with other kitesurfers at one of the kite centres, or head into Renesse for a more lively party scene.&nbsp;Food wise there are a number of places on the beach to grab a bite to eat, and for more options the nearby towns offer a good range of cuisines.</p><h3>How to reach Brouwersdam and how to move there?</h3><p>You’ll definitely want a car or a camper van to move around here, as public transport isn’t really an option, and particularly if you want to have the freedom to explore the area then your own transport is essential. Any international travellers would be best served flying to Rotterdam (RTM) and hiring a car from there.</p>
