Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Egmond aan Zee is a classic Noord-Holland wave spot with plenty of room and a lively village behind it. It is popular in west to northwest.
The open water at Egmond aan Zee faces WNW (290°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are north, southwest, west and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the northeast and south, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the east and southeast, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
