Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Het Zoute is the easternmost part of Knokke, and past the Appelzakstraat, at the end of the sea wall, two launch zones of 145 and 170 metres lie side by side, with a narrow strip for e-foils on either side. That is where the buildings stop and the dunes begin, and further east lies the Zwin, the nature area on the Dutch border that has been a protected landscape since 1939. North-north-west and north are straight onshore here and north-west and north-east side-on, while west and east blow cross-shore along the beach and south-west and south-east already come side-off the land. When the wind is from south-south-east to south, it is straight offshore and Windulu gives a no-go.
Kitesurfing only in the two launch zones of 145 and 170 m east of the Appelzakstraat. Wing zone not designated, check with the club. Source: MDK launch-zone plan.
The open water at Het Zoute (Knokke) faces NNW (347°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are north, northeast and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the east, southeast, southwest and west, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the south, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
