Log your sessions; that is how Windulu gets to know you.
The advice is a tool. You remain responsible for your own safety.
Kennemerstrand sits in the shelter of the Zuidpier of IJmuiden. The pier flattens the sea a little in northerly currents, which often makes the water here just that bit friendlier than on the open coast alongside it. A spacious beach, good access and a settled kite community.
The open water at IJmuiden (Kennemerstrand) faces WSW (248°). The safest wind directions to get on the water here are south, southwest, west and northwest (onshore or cross-onshore). With the wind from the north and southeast, it runs cross to cross-offshore: doable, but mind your position and don't go alone. With the wind from the northeast and east, it blows offshore and is dangerous: you'll be pushed off the beach onto open water (no-go).
