Scheveningen
Scheveningen is the Netherlands' surf headquarters—a consistent North Sea beachbreak that has nurtured Dutch surf culture despite brutally cold water and a coastline that barely faces the right direction. When autumn and winter storms sweep through, this beach produces legitimate waves that draw the entire Dutch surf community. The groynes create defined peaks but also hazards. The determination required to surf in 8°C water builds serious character. Dutch surfing at its most hardcore.
