Checking the wind…
Belgian coast
Offshore wind. Too dangerous.
Best chance this week: tomorrow 9-11h, up to 17 kn.
Offshore wind. You'll be blown out to sea.
Current against the wind: easier to hold ground.

The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Kitesurfing only in the 340 m launch zone between Groenendijk and Turkeyen. Wing zone not designated, check with the club. Source: MDK launch-zone plan.
The open water at Bredene faces NNW (330°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are north, west and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the northeast, east, south and southwest, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the southeast, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
