Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Cadzand sits right in the far southwest, up against the Belgian border. The beach here is wide and it is noticeably quieter than the Zeeland spots further north. Anyone coming from Flanders gets here sooner than to the Belgian coast, and often finds more space.
The open water at Cadzand 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).
