Checking the wind…
Belgian coast
Too little wind to ride.
Best chance this week: Thursday 8-20h, up to 16 kn.
Cross-offshore wind. Only with rescue or experience.
Current against the wind: easier to hold ground.

Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Kitesurfing only in the launch zone: from 16 June to 15 September about 500 m west of the centre, the rest of the year almost the whole beach. Wing zone not designated, check with the club. Source: MDK launch-zone plan.
The open water at De Panne faces NNW (331°). 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 and southwest, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the southeast and south, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
