Overview

Het Zwin is a kitesurf spot near Cadzand-Bad on the North Sea, close to the Het Zwin nature reserve on the Belgian border (Zeeland). Wide sandy beach, good wave conditions, North Sea exposure. The Het Zwin nature reserve is a major bird sanctuary — respect all zone boundaries.

Works well with N/NW/W/SW onshore winds. Intermediate level due to North Sea waves and groynes. Close to Belgian coast (Knokke-Heist visible to the south). Good alternative or complement to Cadzand-Bad (2km east). MOIO kitesurf school operates at Cadzand-Bad nearby. Year-round accessible.
